This is the moment when a spectator at a race bike ride walked onto the track just before it was over, knocking out the would-be champion.

Racing fans can hear the screams of racing fans as the head-on collision between the rider and woman leaves them both on the ground.

The incident occurred on Saturday at the Condaca Salmor Bike event on El Hierro, Canary Islands.

Video footage taken at the scene shows an apparent frontrunner savoring victory and sprinting towards a finish line marking the end to the 55-mile-long route.

Spectators account on both sides of the road, and at one point a man is seen casually crossing from one side of the track to the other but with plenty of time to spare.

A woman decides that she will follow the lead of the first cyclist, who is now only metres away.

She seems to be leaning out from the crowd and skipping across the road, but is hit head-on with the fast bike rider.
