CPA Threatens Legal Action After Chips Thrown

During stage 14 of the Tour de France, a spectator threw chips at cyclists Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard, prompting the Professional Cyclists Association to consider legal action due to the disrespectful behavior. Pogacar extended his lead in the race, winning the stage and increasing his overall advantage. The incident raised concerns about fan behavior and safety, with previous instances of fans interfering with riders during the race. The CPA, led by Adam Hansen, condemned the actions and vowed to take legal action against the spectator. The lack of effective crowd control in cycling events poses risks to the safety of cyclists, highlighting the need for better measures to ensure athlete protection and race integrity.
