The images show Pogacar looking back angrily, making gestures and also appearing to shout something at an onlooker who pushed him. The pink jersey wearer currently appears to be on course for a victory in the sixth stage of this Giro.

By the way, Pogacar certainly wasn’t just annoyed with the fans. On a small climb that interrupted the descent of Monte Grappa, the UAE leader received a bottle of water from one of his caregivers. He then immediately passed it to a young fan who was walking by.
