Fans left baffled by taxidermy appearance at Giro

Stuffed ornamental fox was dressed up for the occasion

The Giro d’Italia was interrupted yesterday - by an ornamental stuffed fox wearing a pink scarf.

As the stage neared the summit of Monte Grappa in the Veneto, a man popped out of the crowd brandishing his taxidermy.

 

It’s the second known appearance of the fox, who made an appearance at the Giro in 2014.

Cycling fans were left baffled by the sight.

Think he would look more at home in the tweed run.

Er, I thought the silly parties by the roadside were the whole point of the big race calendar events. Lighten up, they add amusement.
