Exactly, it doesn’t particularly. Is FR a parliament or a tap room? Can it be both?

Cause most of the time they’re not that stupid. Now with this there’s going to be way more security.

Several years ago in the Tour, Lance Armstrong caught a brake level on the shoulder strap of a woman’s purse. She was leaning out to take a photo of the peloton as it weent by. It was an accident but he still went down hard. And he broke his frame in the accident.

looking for the woman who held out a cardboard sign into the road causing the crash that resulted in several riders sustaining serious injuries.

For heavens sake. What the hell does this mean?

Was what was written on the sigh cause the crash? If so what did it say? Was it just that a sign caused this?

Everyone keeps repeating "a cardboard sign" but there's no context of why this cardboard sign caused this trouble.

Can anyone explain what actually happened beyond repeating "a cardboard sign"?

“A woman attention whore. Yep.”
_________________________

It’s clear she had no interest in the race, at all.

“Look at me! Look at me!”

Clearly shown in her stance facing the camera.

I hope they sue the freaking pants off of her and she’s legally forbidden to attend ANY type of road race in the future.

She was holding up the sign, looking away from the racers. One of them hit the sign and crashed, taking out dozens of others.
