Imagine investing the time, money, and energy into preparing for possibly the seminal event of your life, only to have it all wasted because of some idiot with a sign.

I just don't get the crowds at the TDF and other European cycling events. These people camp for days to get a glimpse of the cyclists whizzing by. I realize it's probably one helluva party, but I'd rather be at a bar or campsite or something, not sitting on the side of the road.

No different than the people who will tailgate a football game they don't have tickets to, lol
It's the atmosphere and the spectacle of it all, and they will frequently follow the riders along the course, popping out to party, cheer, and spectate at multiple points along the route.
It ain't my thing, and even the riding part was never much my thing, but I do get it.
