VIDEO: Tadej Pogacar fumes at fan who gets a little too close on packed Monte Grappa at Giro d'Italia

Tadej Pogacar is powering towards yet another stage win at the 2024 Giro d'Italia and a thunderous Maglia Rosa victory. Sadly though, some of the fans on the packed-out Monte Grappa are getting a little too close for the Slovenian's comfort.
Just moments after the UAE Team Emirates leader launched yet another brutal attack and accelerated clear of all his pre-race rivals, Pogacar was powering up the climb when a fan grabbed the Maglia Rosa and attempted to push him up. Pogacar, clearly unhappy by this action, let the culprit know exactly what he thought of the stupid action of the supporter.
Sadly this wasn't the only incident on the climb either as Pogacar implored supporters to move a pink smoke flare out his way and another fan made contact a little closer to the top. See the incident for yourself in the video down below!

- Wout is Right. They should be arrested. I mean they can't even protest right. The item holding isn't even Palestinian, its mesopotamia and used by many groups, well before the idea of a Palestinian Arab existed. I just hope the Italian police act but I wouldn't be suprised if they don't. It's time we all stand up to these terror supporters.HoopoeChai17-05-2025
- Not directed at you: Firstly, not going to trust a list that features Jay Vibe 28mins down. Secondly why if gaining 4 seconds over 500km is devastating do we criticise a superlative when Reusser gets ejected 20 seconds over 1km? Thirdly, is Matxin happy to tacitly leave his remaining riders to fight each other at the expense of team structure? I think yes. There’s a cat and there are mice and they can do what they like as long as the cat is away. I’m pretty sure the « selfish « attitude of Ayo is partly due to encouragement, after all, has anyone heard or witnessed him getting disciplined for any initiatives? It’s a little easy and cheap to focus attitude criticism on riders alone, there’s more to it.Mistermaumau17-05-2025
- Its crazy, One Issac del toro is not a climber, Majka will work so he will drop down. That leaves three guys onlyabstractengineer17-05-2025
- This was a mountain sprint, the first summit finish of many. If in the third week he is there and defeats other contenders, then only he will win. Too earlyabstractengineer17-05-2025
- Interesting to see whether del Toro eventually leapfrogs Ayuso in the UAE pecking order. Juan knows he needs to deliver this year or risk losing his ranking within the team.Renz17-05-2025
- Isaac Del T could win this race if they let him.Renz17-05-2025
- We noticed that. Not good enough today, but he needs to be good in the last week.
DareDevil16-05-2025 - Tiny bit too early to draw conclusions. Up till now Ayuso always failed in a big Tour on 1 or 2 days. And Roglic not...DareDevil16-05-2025
- We have ourselves a race :-)Mistermaumau16-05-2025
