This is the baffling moment a cyclist snatched a cardboard sign off a stunned fan during the Tour de France. In one of the highlights of an unremarkable Stage 14, Julian Alaphillippe was forced to take decisive action on Sunday (AEST).

The home hero stole the cardboard to keep himself warm in the brutal conditions on the savage slopes of the Col du Tourmalet.
