Cyclist Geraint Thomas has said people taking selfies in front of Tour de France riders are the “new pain in the arse.”
The Team Sky cyclist spoke out against the selfie takers, saying that they posed a safety risk to the riders. He said that if people want selfies, they should "stand on a wall."
Thomas said that people did not understand how fast cyclists go and how much of the road they use. He added: "The worst thing is when people have got their backs to the peloton taking selfies. I had a few of those and they don't see us coming and are stood in the road and it is very dodgy."
