I agree. Not her fault. Safety negligence on the part of the organizers. Surprised it hasn’t happened before.
Totally her fault. She was not looking at the riders approaching as she was grandstanding for the cameras. How could the organizers stop stupidity.
“I agree. Not her fault.”
Totally her fault.
They should just drop this. I agree. If I ever have to the opportunity to see the race, I don’t want to stand behind anything.
When I raced regionally, the people/families in lawn chairs, the cycling fans in general lining the road on big hill climbs getting close and telling to you to keep going were a big part of the motivation and experience as a racer.
Hate to see the Tour lose that element. It will just get cold and lose luster.

The mind boggles.
It was completely her fault.
The Tour de France organizers want a race but can't figure out how to paint zebra stripe areas along each side of the road along the course to create a "no-man's land" that both spectators and cyclists are not allowed in.
A simple question to the organizers in court, "did you take precautions to protect both spectators and cyclists such as striping along the course?" "Why not, did you deem it too expensive?"
“Not her fault. Safety negligence on the part of the organizers. Surprised it hasn’t happened before.”
She must have wondered what all those cameras and people were doing there when all those bicycles came out of nowhere.
