An older spectator caused a sometimes dangerous expert today at #SaarlandTrofeoJuniors by trying to get a better look and enter the course with her rollator while riders were flying past at full speed!#LVMSaarlandTrofeo #Habkirchen #Saarland #Germany#Cycling pic.twitter. com/WsmobxIR3B— Kingdom of Cycling (@Cycling Kingdom) June 14, 2026
The accident also caused shock to many cyclists who stayed lying on the asphalt, in apparent shock. Other cyclists continued to pass alongside them, as they continued the race towards the finish line.
"Luckily, the cyclists involved escaped without serious injuries, despite spectacular clashes," wrote under the post on Instagram the man who posted the video with the incident.
He added that it goes without saying that we do not enter the road while the cyclists pass, because the consequences may be tragic for cyclists and viewers
