The opening stage of the Tour of Qinghai Lake in China was affected by a huge crash after spectator walk across the road just two kilometres from the finish of the stage in Xining.

Video footage shows the man cross the road in the city of Xining, thinking he can make it before the peloton arrives. However he is hit by some of the riders at the front of the peloton, causing a huge high-speed pile-up.

The stage was won by former Colombia team rider Miguel Angel Rubiano (China Continental Team of Gansu Bank), who like a fortunate few, managed to void the crash and its consequences. Italy’s Daniele Colli (Nippo-Vini Fantini) finished second.

According to a Tweet by Australian rider Nathan Elliott, the man who crossed the road and sparked the crash was detained by Chinese police.

Photographs show that dozen of riders were caught up in the crash, with Italy’s Antonio Viola (Nippo Vini Fantini) apparently suffering a fractured wrist and Tiziano Dall'Antonia (Androni Giocattoli) possibly fracturing his collarbone.

Other riders suffered road rash but are set to continue in the tough Chinese stage race that is held at an altitude largely above 2000 metres.

That's a fucking clown if ever I saw one. What the hell was that woman saying, though? Annoying.

Bicyclists are dicks anyway. They won't stop pedaling until there's blood.

She was saying "jia you" (加油) which is a way to cheer someone on in Chinese...similar to telling someone to go faster or try harder (the literal translation is "to refuel or add gas")

I don't think the phrase itself is annoying...just her god awful voice haha
