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.

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)

The Tour is sure to have racing rules that will get you fined or disqualified if you break them.
