Beware of the Mankini! I actually spotted him twice. One time the TdF rider did a double take.

The Tour de France attracts spectators from all walks of life and their enthusiasm and ingenuity when supporting the riders is famous. They will do whatever it takes to see the race, relax in the sun when they’re waiting or use it for protest.
