Seahawks jersey at Tour de France for second week- this time, an action green Wagner
The viral Seattle Seahawks fan running alongside the Tour de France on Friday was spotted again today. Sleeper Seahawks was first on the coverage again at 7:36am. Last week, a man went viral for wearing a custom Seahawks jersey of reigning Tour champ Tadej Pogacar and a football helmet with massive antlers. Today, he showed up on the broadcast again, sporting his signature yellow helmet and what appears to be a #54 Action Green Bobby Wagner jersey. The broadcast got an even better look at him this time than last week, when we only saw the jersey and helmet from a camera behind him. His second sighting brought a full, panning aerial view of him running up the mountain (or, as cyclists say, making the 'climb') alongside the Tour riders. It's hard to overstate how gigantic those antlers truly are, as they take up almost as much space as he does. It's also impressive he chooses to try and run with the riders, let alone with such a signature outfit. This camera angle thickens the plot even further! What last week seemed like an awesome one-time coincidence has become a semi-viral news story among Seahawk Nation for consecutive weeks. At the time of this writing, Sleeper Seahawks' original tweet of the fan wearing a Seahawks Jersey of reigning Tour Champion Tadej Pogacar has 81.6k Views, but their tweet today has already racked up 61.5k Views in just under 12 hours. This afternoon, Fanatics even chimed in. They quote tweeted Sleeper Seahawks post, asking the internet to help them find the mystery Seahawks fan at the Tour de France. Once again, I implore all Seahawks fans to help me find the mystery Tour de France 12 with antlers! Any tips you have, feel free to reach out to me on twitter @DomSkene, and we at Seahawks Wire can't wait to keep covering this feel-good story if and when it develops and continues.

Sleeper Seahawks tweeted a photo of the broadcast early Friday morning which was reshared throughout the fanbase all over social media throughout the final day of the work week. Pogacar, a Slovenian-born 26-year-old, has already won the Tour three times. He won his first in 2020 before going back-to-back in 2021, and has the chance to go back-to-back again in 2025 after picking up his third title last year.
