Camille Miansoni, the prosecutor in Brest, France, who had opened an investigation into the case, said that the spectator, a 30-year-old French woman, had been released from police custody pending her trial. She turned herself in on Wednesday.

I’ve never understood why they don’t have a simple rule stating spectators must be 3 ft away from the road. Just for both spectator and biker safety. People are literally on the road and nothing is done.

Meanwhile, the women who collaborated with nazis merely had their heads shorn and were paraded topless through the streets when Paris was liberated in 1944.

If there were *serious* injuries involved a large fine...or even a prison term...might be in order. But otherwise just give her a slap on the wrist.

The problem was compounded by the fact that some of the race routes have been held on extremely narrow roads, so narrow that the riders staged a protest a couple of days ago. The extreme narrowness of the road forces the rides to occupy the entire width of the road, with not an inch to spare.

Narrow roads are ok on mountain stages when the peloton (the main pack of riders) breaks up and gets stretched thin, but are dangerous in sprint stages on relatively flat terrain where the peloton remains largely intact throughout the race.

I think she is a hero. Or a comedy genius.

Funniest thing I ever saw. Best Tour de France ever.

But she didn't do anything. Some moron bike rider ran in to her. She was standing still at the side of the road.

Better than Benny Hill. It needs yakkety sax.

Glad she’s going to pay for that. These people train for years and to have it come crashing down (literally) is just terrible.

I suspect a lot of us don’t really mind what the woman did, at least in parts of the country where they REFUSE to ride on the shoulder.

When I was 9, we rode our bikes through a ring of fire, made of burning pallets. Sometimes you hit your head, sometimes you hit the sides. I never thought to charge anyone with a crime, just got back up and rode through again. Pussies.

Maybe she can get a plea deal.
Offer her that if she does community service by shaving her head and going topless in France for say, 30 days she can go free. And she has to wear a mask.
Hey Babylon Bee - can you top that?

Just sentence her to about 100 hrs of community service: walking around picking up litter while wearing a sign on her back, with her name and crime.

Do it on a race course. Or take your chances on public roads
