Another sport I love! It is really the only sport I know of where spectators can impact the results and always for the worse. These riders have nerves of steel to do what they do.

Reports are this woman could do a year in prison and be held liable for not only the personal injuries but the damage to the bicycles which cost bbetween 10k to 20k each.

They are ready to put fans on notice. 6 years ago the fans clogged the road on mt. Ventoux and caused a crash that nearly knocked out the winner. |

And the moron of the year award goes to..........
She is going to get sued like hell. Physical injuries, bicycle damage, and even psychological damage depending on the bikers affected by the accident. Add some jail time to it and you have a recipe for an idiotic action.

Luckily they were dressed like Waldo so it will be hard too find them. I hope they don't get financially ruined over a sport. |

They found her, and it looks like they will be fining her 1,500 euro. Maybe it will make people think twice about doing something stupid going forward. The fan proximity is one of the things that makes bicycle racing what it is, and they really can't change that, but the fans need to have at least a minimal level of responsibility as well. I have no sympathy.
