A dramatic video has emerged of a huge pile-up at a bike race in Italy after a spectator attempted to join the peloton.

The footage was captured by a family who were watching stage two of the Giro d'Italia 2015 competition on a terrace overlooking the race in Genoa on Sunday.

It shows the moment an amateur cyclist rode off the pavement, in an apparent attempt to join the race, but ended up causing a huge crash.

Writing online after the incident, one of the racers, Eugenio Alafaci, said ""If I get hold of the d****d that had the bright idea of jumping into the peloton on a fixie with 10km to go, making us crash, I swear he’d be in for it.”
