There is zero barrier between the bikers and the crowd. That’s stupid. And it’s not her fault. And yeah, what she did was stupid too, but she is the only one being charged.
You might want to take a little time to educate yourself about how the preparation is done. This year the course is 3,484.2 km (2,165 mi)Are you demanding that they barricade the entire route? They certainly do that in most towns and at key points but barricading the entire course is ridiculous.

I suppose I could blame the rider rather than the Tour itself. But I don’t think she should be charged with anything unless they can prove her action was deliberate and designed to cause what it caused. Either that or, yes, they need to control the entire course. BTW, I have a rather large collection of Tour DVD’s and Bluerays. It’s fun to watch them while on the training bike.
Well luckily they don’t do the whole 2000 miles in one day, so they don’t have to barricade it all at once. Meanwhile it looks like overall this course is too narrow given all the other crashes.
