The bicyclists should have been more careful riding on the road. I fault them for this accident because if they had been more attentive they wouldn't have hit the woman or her sign.


Hook is too shiny, baw.

Here's the video from NBC's coverage. The collision from the overhead camera happens about 40 seconds in.



at 3:42 i think you have the person who caused the crash just standing there with the sign under their arm. THey took their hat off, but the glasses look the same, and the kid with the white and black striped shirt is on top of the the hill and you can see him with on top of the hill behind her at the time of the crash.

They won't do shite to her. She will.end up getting paid. The competition had NO barriers, painted lines, signage, etc. Public roads closed to vehicle traffic besides their own. No restrictions on signs or any other noise devices, etc
They can't prove intent on her part to actually cause a crash.(that we are aware of)
Bottom line, they expect fans to police themselves therefore there are no enforced rules, the tour simply doesn't put enough resources out there.

She was dumb, for sure. But to file suit against her, they better have done all they could to prevent this....and we all know they didn't


Suing is a bad translation. They mean that they are doing the equivalent of pressing charges.

Also, France has an inquisitorial criminal system. The burden of proof is more on the accused than in the US or English systems.

They are going to hunt her down and ruin her life as if she was one of those Capital Hill protesters.

They SHOULD hunt her down and punish her. Ruining her life is too extreme, but she should be severely punished for the selfish behavior that cost so many people so much.

Nice bump.

NBC and TDF should secretly pay all her fines. She single handedly increased viewership and interest in the TDF.

Created excitement and publicity for a dull event. They should pay her.
