"You can fall and get hurt very badly with your bullsh*t you stupid people" - Lilian Calmejane furious after being victim of tacks put on Tour de France roads

Although it was not apparent today at the Tour de France in the TV broadcast, following the stage riders and team staff have revealed that many riders were victims of tacks placed on the road. Lilian Calmejane has came out in harsh criticism of the situation.

"They have put thumbtacks on us. Almost all our cyclists have punctured, all except Victor Lafay and one other," Cofidis DS Bingen Fernandez told Marca. "I think they have gone too far, the thumbtacks were superfluous."

However riders themselves have now came out to criticize the apparently purposeful act. Lilian Calmejane has shared a video on social media revealing his bike with several tacks in his front tyre.

Angry, he has written: "Thank you for this kind of human bullshit... I don't think I was the only victim of a puncture in the end... know that you can fall and get hurt very badly with your bullshit you stupid people...
