Fans ask ‘WTF am I watching’ as man bizarrely cycles in mid-air during Tour de France
CYCLING fans were left stunned by a man appearing to cycle through mid-air during the Tour de France on Tuesday.
One viewer even asked “WTF am I watching” after the moment was caught on camera during stage four of the race.
Jasper Philipsen of Alpecin-Deceuninck claimed victory in the 181.8km flat stage between Dax and Nogaro.
However, it was something that happened next to the road which left viewers stunned.
As the riders shot past a pile of hay bales, there appeared to be one riding through the air – but it was actually a fan dangling from a digger.
The construction vehicle slowly span around as the suspended man peddled on his bike over the hay bales.
Fans were left perplexed by what they had seen, with one tweeting: “What the f*** am I watching?!”
Another commented: “You have to love the health and safety aspect of it.”
A third viewer also wrote: “This is like something out of Mario Kart.”
Philipsen later came out on top in chaotic sprint finish to win his second consecutive stage and claim the green jersey.
