The Tour de France was brought to a halt Tuesday by protesting farmers.

After the farmers tossed hay bales onto the road as the riders approached, police attempted to break up the protest with pepper spray, which the wind blew it into the path of several competitors.

Organizers were forced to stop the race for 15 minutes so the riders could get medical attention.
