Will there be charges? Looked like the rider hit her arm as the sign was pretty flimsy. What an utter fluffybunny.
We'd need a lot of new jails if everyone who did something completely fuckwitted was charged!
I guess she could be done with some sort of traffic offence.

@chris-b stupidity is one hell of a defense aye
I figured some kind of traffic/event laws would apply given the event - so a fine or something, certainly not jumping to a jail term lol

It's not the first time that a fan has got too close in the Tour. But this time there were serious consequences

The roadside fan who caused a giant crash at the Tour de France on Saturday is to be sued by the organizers.

I’m surprised fans haven’t caused that much chaos more often. Some of them show no common sense and even less common courtesy once the riders appear.
The same fucktards that ruined Group B.

I hope they find her.

The change of look on her face was brilliant though. Dumb cow thinking she was the bees knees waving her sign and smiling at the camera then boomfa!!!!!
She has a punchable face of Ed Sheehan/James Corden proportions.

I know the legs are 200km, with 2 sides of the road making that 400km
But you wonder if it isn't time to invest in some rope.
Because this stuff is devastating.
Nah. For everyone else except the stupid people like her having no boundaries is what makes it worth standing in the middle of nowhere for hours. You just have to stay aware at all times. Bikes, cars, motorcycles all flying past inches away at speed.

Look, I'm not really serious and I know it would never happen. But man would you be furious if something you trained so hard for was taken away from you like that. I can't think of another sport where it's so possible.

This is what happens when you have idiots more interested in getting a photo for SM than what is actually happening live in front of them.
It's like those idiots who fall off cliffs trying to get the ultimate selfie. In this case she has caused many people great harm, and maybe ruined the chances of a few athletes who were trying to fulfill lifelong dreams of winning the tour

Tbh, I'm more worried about stray dogs crossing the road.
My most constant fear on the motorbike is random fucking animals.
Even after seeing motorists pull out in front of me, feeling the tyres slide on stupid-slippery concrete, feeling the bike go all "aquaplaning" at 100kph on shiny roads in fucking Uzbekistan, and just pure personal incompetence at taking corners.
Fucking animals.
And birds - if you're one of those straight-up-idiots who don't think birds are part of the animal kingdom. -

I did a 3 day ride from London to Fontainebleau once, and got attacked my a random French farm dog about 50km South of Dieppe. Still the only time I've come off my road bike, but it left a fair few grazes at 30kph.
