2021-06-27 -Short Attention Span Theater-

[NY Post] An oblivious fan posing for the cameras caused a bloody crash Saturday that plunged the first stage of the Tour de France ‐ won by Julian Alaphilippe ‐ into chaos.

With one foot on the road and a cardboard sign encouraging riders to "Go!" hanging onto the course, the spectator's head was turned in the opposite direction of the cyclists when all hell broke loose.

Veteran rider Tony Martin crashed into the sign and tumbled to the ground, leading dozens of others behind the accident into a pile-up involving half of the riders.

Multiple bikes were damaged as a result of the crash but the injury toll to riders wasn't immediately clear.

The Tour cautioned fans to "respect the safety of the riders" and "Don't risk everything for a photo or to get on television!"
But did he get a strongly worded letter in his permanent record?

...Actually, Les autorités are looking for her, and I think they have a lot more than a strongly worded letter in mind.

#5 I absolutely despise 'fans' like that broad. Primoz Roglic (the first guy who got hit) should've dropped his shoulder into her. Since she's in France, I recommend le guillotine, and I'm 3/4 serious about this.
