A man protesting the Israeli team’s participation in the Tour de France was unceremoniously ejected from the race area by an alert, no-nonsense security guard.

Just under 100 feet from the finish line, a man waving a keffiyah and wearing a T-shirt demanding Israel end its war in Gaza ran out onto the track very close to where Norway’s Jonas Abrahamsen was making his move to get past Switzerland’s Mauro Schmid to win the 11th stage of the race.

The guard blocked the man, shoved him up against the wall separating the crowd from the course, and then grabbed the protester’s legs and flipped him over the wall.

The protester’s shirt read, “Israel Out of the Tour.”
