The 108th Tour de France cycling race got off to a chaotic start on Saturday when a spectator’s sign hit a racer, triggering an enormous pileup. Replay video shows the fan smiling and facing the same direction as the racers, with a large cardboard sign sticking out into the narrow country road. The spectator’s sign read “Allez Opi-Omi!” in black marker ― a message for the holder’s grandparents. pic.twitter.com/2i6pMZBo8m — Cork Gaines (@CorkGaines) June 26, 2021The 2,124-mile race began today from Brest, a city at the westernmost tip of France. pic.twitter.com/eA6nnhRhWv — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) June 26, 2021
