Dramatic moment protester ragdolled over fence by security guard at Tour de France

Don't miss out on the headlines from Cycling. Followed categories will be added to My News. This is the dramatic moment a brave security guard takes down a brazen anti-Israel protester at the Tour de France in front of a crowd of shocked spectators. The Sun reports the demonstrator was running down the main track protesting against Israel's participation in the event - before the guard brutally tackled him down to the ground. Tszyu vs Fundora 2 & Pacquiao vs Barrios | SUN 20 JULY 10AM AEST | Tim Tszyu faces Sebastian Fundora in a blockbuster rematch, plus Manny Pacquiao makes his highly anticipated return to the ring to face Mario Barrios. | Order now with Main Event on Kayo Sports In the shocking footage, the unruly pro-Palestine protester is seen sprinting down the bicycle course with his hands in the air. He is seen running mere metres away from several athletes speeding down the track at the same time as him. But seconds later, the rebellious man is suddenly tackled, thrust against the wall and dramatically hauled over like a ragdoll. Cheering spectators suddenly turn their attention to the wild altercation as the guard desperately attempts to fully restrain him. The staff member seemingly throws his hands towards the rogue protester, while trying to keep him on the ground to put an end to his disruptive behaviour. He calls for help from other security staff before launching his walkie talkie at the protester on the floor in the middle of the jam-packed crowd. Startled biking fans then appear to stop the guard and push him back slightly.

(Photo by) The extraordinary scenes unfolded just 25 metres from the finish line at the race on Wednesday. Jonas Abrahamsen from Norway narrowly beat out Switzerland's Mauro Schmid in the 11th stage of the three-week race. The brazen protester was wearing a shirt that read: 'Israel out of the Tour.' He also held a keffiyeh, a black-and-white checkered headdress and pro-Palestine symbol. The stunt was directed at Israel's Premier-Tech team, which is registered in Israel - despite not featuring any Israeli bikers at this year's event. The security guard was having none of it.

The iconic event has 21 stages - with the race ending at the Champs-Élysées in Paris on July 27. Tadej Pogacar powered to victory in an uphill time trial on stage 13 of the Tour de France on Friday to stretch his lead in the race to more than four minutes. Jonas Vingegard and Remco Evenepoel clung on to their places in the overall top three, but this 10.9km time-trial triumph was defending champion Pogacar's second crushing win in two days. Pogacar is in the box seat to win his fourth Tour de France, joining Chris Froome as four-time winners. This article originally appeared in The Sun and was reproduced with permission.

Jelly Roll puts Logan Paul through a table in wild ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live' brawl ahead of WWE SummerSlam clash

Jelly Roll's debut as a late-night talk show host was one for the ages. The country singer, rapper and, now a WWE wrestler, started his stint as the substitute host of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' on Wednesday the way you'd expect — cracking jokes behind a desk and interviewing a guest, pro wrestler Randy Orton. Ten minutes later, he was chokeslamming Logan Paul through the desk. The segment featured Jelly Roll, Orton, Paul and Drew McIntyre to promote their upcoming SummerSlam match, which will pit Orton and Jelly Roll against Paul and McIntyre. Things spiraled out of control when McIntyre emerged from backstage and started talking trash. 'You're screwed at SummerSlam, but I'm bringing some positivity,' McIntyre said. 'This man Jelly Roll lost over 200 pounds working his arse off. You truly are an inspiration to trailer trash all across the world. 'I just want to know, after you lost all that weight, how did it feel to see your little tootsie roll for the first time in 20 years?' 3 Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton tussled during Wednesday's 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' show. Jimmy Kimmel Live/YouTube Orton got up from his seat and responded: 'Drew, nobody flew here to see you act like a prick. Wrong time, wrong place, why don't you back the f–k up?' Orton and McIntyre grappled their way offstage from there, until Paul emerged to a chorus of boos from the audience. 'You, my friend, are a greasy, redneck, prison rat,' Paul jabbed, before shoving Jelly Roll. 'Congrats, it's Logan Paul's show now. A real superstar.' 3 Jelly Roll after slamming Logan Paul through a desk on Wednesday's 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' show. Jimmy Kimmel Live/YouTube That prompted Jelly Roll to grab Paul by the collar, hoist him into the air and slam him through the wooden desk, which splintered into pieces. The stunt comes after the same quartet sparred during Saturday Night's Main Event on July 12, with Paul beating up Orton, Jelly Roll punching Paul and McIntyre laying out Jelly Roll with a Claymore kick. 3 Jelly Roll, who is a rapper and singer, performing during CMA Fest 2025 on June 6. FilmMagic SummerSlam is slated for Aug. 2-3 at MetLife Stadium.
