I assume it wasn´t somebody who is a regular visitor of races. They know better. Apart from that, it would be quite weird to carry a bucket around to all the races. Therefore my guess is that it is some local who became enthusiastic when he read about it, watched cycling for the first time this summer, saw people throw water at the cyclists and decided to do something similar at his very first race. Wouldn´t call him idiot. (not very bright though)
