“The incident has been blown out of all proportion,”

So if you are a rider who got badly injured and had to drop out of the race, no big deal. Roadside fans, just be careful.

The riders must love this guy.

What should the race organizers do about the two racers that crossed tires, causing the second accident at 6.8mi of the same stage that took out nearly the rest of the peloton?

That second crash knocked four riders out of the race. (Konovalovas, Lemoine, Soler, and Sütterlin)
