The anti-Israel protester, waving the required keffiyeh and wearing a shirt that said “Israel out of the Tour,” apparently slipped through the barricades and onto the course, endangering the racers and potentially affecting the outcome. Some sources are writing that the agitator was a woman, but frankly, it’s hard to tell because he/she looked somewhere in the middle.
The security guard got into a crouch stance and patiently waited, and then… boom, the protester “found out”:
