Playboy model almost causes crash in Giro d'Italia

British model April Summers came perilously close to causing a massive Giro d'Italia pile-up after getting way too close to the action.

The 28-year-old was posing for the camera (watch the video above) when she almost cleaned up a number of cyclists racing past.

The model was waving her arms and jumping around, coming millimetres from causing absolute chaos.

It wouldn't be the first time a fan has caused a crash in professional road cycling, with officials next to no chance of policing every section of the track.

Summers has been quite a hit since moving to Italy, taking to social media to show her love for football side Inter Milan.

She even showed of some impressive football knowledge: "I wanted to stop and say I would like to see Diego Simeone as our new Inter Milan coach. I would love to see him there, he is a true Interista."

Originally from London, Summers currently lives in Sardinia.

She has been invited to a number of matches, including the Milan derby and Inter's match with Cagliari.
