Look man, you're allowed to dislike sports but why disrupt the race? Let people enjoy things.

Just give the riders a warning and they'll just treat the obstacle like a speed bump.

Gotta give the racers a challenge. Spice things up a bit.

It was something of a tradition among drunk fans at the Alpe’s Dutch corner to throw beer at advance Tour vehicles, but beer was only the half of it. In 2013 at the Mont Saint-Michel time trial, Mark Cavendish complained of having urine thrown at him, while in 2015 Chris Froome made a similar complaint, and teammates claimed they had been spat at and punched as they rode through the mountains.
