– carrying former Tour yellow jersey wearer Tommy Voeckler – and a swarming crowd on a steep bend. Race leader Jonas Vingegaard, however, wasn’t so lucky and was forced to stop behind the race director’s car as the chaos unfolded in front of him., one team manager pointed to the surprising number of small children on the race route and said that he was “very angry” at the lack of crowd control on Wednesday’s narrow, final climb.
The Tour’s race director Thierry Gouvenou has acknowledged the apparent “Netflix effect” in attracting a seemingly rowdier crowd to the roadside this July, though he also noted that the exciting racing and a new breed of phone-obsessed sports fan could be behind the chaotic scenes we’ve witnessed over the past three weeks.
“I don’t know if it’s the Netflix effect. I know the viewer wants to be with his phone and he wants to put himself in the picture, in the Tour de France. That’s the way it is.”
