VIDEO: Spectator dives in front of a Moto Cam at the Vuelta

Dramatic footage as a cycling fan is pushed out of the way of a moto cam bike by a Policeman on stage 12 of the Vuelta Espana, as Contador attacked Froome

Footage has appeared of what looks to be a man diving in front of a Moto Camera bike on Thursday's stage 12.

It comes just after Contador passes, having already attacked out of the peloton dropping his rivals including Chris Froome, who also crashed twice on the stage.

From another angle it becomes apparent that a policeman pushed the spectator out of the way, fearing he would be run over. Luckily he lives to tell the tale!
