Warning! This photo of 'passed-out' Tour fan in mankini will haunt you

Some of the Mankini fans are in great shape - if you're into that sort of thing - but our Ventoux hero perhaps doesn't fall into that category.

 

The fans by the roadside at the Tour who've engaged in bad behaviour always get the headlines, but let's not forget there's plenty of amazing people who dress up in costume to help create a great atmosphere.

And one regular by the roadside has been the Mankini made famous by Borat, the TV character from Kazakhstan.

We've had running Borat - never a good idea - and stationary Borats by the side of the road, including groups of Borats, above.

But what we've never seen in this parish is a passed-out Borat.

The dude below was photographed on the Ventoux stage on Thursday, though we're pretty sure it was a mock passing out - he seems to have collapsed very neatly.

But seeing him in all his, erm, glory inspired us to put together a bit of ‘Borat down the years’ collection below.

Enjoy (we think)!
