The stupid TWAT who caused the Tour De France crash is arrested!
The fan who caused a massive pileup during the opening stage of the Tour de France was arrested on Wednesday, the Associated Press and local media reported.
On the annual event's first day, a fan standing just off the pavement of the road posed for a camera while holding a sign. She was not watching the race and a bike ridden by Tony Martin clipped the sign, sending the race into chaos in a domino effect of downed cyclists.
The fan was tracked down based on "solid" accounts and questioned this week, France's Bleu Finistere radio station reported. Investigators had spoken with dozens of people since the accident, per reports, after officials east of Brest put out a call for witnesses. The fan has not been publicly identified.
The fan got on a flight after the accident and was untraceable, local media reported over the weekend. Christian Prudhomme, director of the Tour de France, said that ASO, the organizer of the race, filed a complaint against the fan that day.
Deputy director Pierre-Yves Thouault said the organization planned to sue "so that the tiny minority of people who do this don't spoil the show for everyone."
The fan held out a sign reading “Allez Opi-Omi.” It's a mix of French and German terms that roughly equate to "Go Grandpa-Grandma."
The Tour de France runs through July 18 and features 21 days of biking with two days of rest. It returns to its regularly scheduled calendar start after being pushed to August last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mark Cavendish won stage 4 with a down-to-the-wire finish on Tuesday.

She did, R6. They found her anyway.
And I agree with R2 — nothing less than capital punishment is acceptable here.

Only if they still have the guillotine. We could use a blast from the past right about now.

No, France no longer has the death penalty. But it was the guillotine when they had it; the last person guillotined was in 1977.

To prevent stuff like this from happening in the future they should have fans cordoned off or set way back away from the cyclists path.
Either that or just don’t allow fans to attend such events. Let’em watch it on TV instead.

The organizers are not pressing charges.
Police did not name the woman, who was in custody on Wednesday. However, local media said she was a 30-year-old Frenchwoman. At first it was thought she was German because her homemade banner was a mix of French and German: "Allez opi omi" or "Go grandpa, grandma."
The woman fled the scene but police appealed to the public for information about her identity after the Tour organizers, ASO, said they would bring a lawsuit against her for involuntarily causing injury through reckless behavior — a charge that carries a $1,770 fine.
On Thursday, however the ASO said it no longer wanted to press charges, in a bid to calm the situation, but they reminded fans to keep away from the riders.

When watching footage of the Tour de France in the past, I always thought it was strange how in some parts of the road the crowd was right up against the edge, seemingly inches from the speeding cyclists.

Put her in thick wooden stocks locked with heavy chains and make her walk the entire path while the cyclists throw rotten vegetables and eggs from the sidelines. The old ways are best.

R9 - 1977 doesn’t seem that long ago. I can’t imagine death by guillotine occurring into the 1900s, although I’m sure it did (or I guess obviously did).

r27, although 1977 was the last execution by guillotine, it was done inside with no public; the last public guillotine execution was 1939, and is recorded on film from a distance.

Watch the video. It all happened so quicky. She saw the tv cameras honing in, stepped out to wave her sign at them, didn't see the rush of lead bikes coming. She was in road, theyknocked into her. Sad for all, especially her stupidity. Off with her head!

Last execution by any method in France occurred in 1977, which also was last death by beheading anywhere in Western world by said process.
Mitterrand's government came in by 1981 and France subsequently banned executions. Those on "death row" as it were had their sentences commuted to various other terms.

Convicted serial killer Eugen Weidmann's public beheading in 1939 went so badly that yes, France banned further public executions.

Oh and everyone's famous horror film actor Christopher Lee witnessed Eugen Wedmann's execution as a then 17 year old.
"On his way there he stopped briefly in Paris, where he stayed with the journalist Webb Miller, a friend of Rose, and witnessed Eugen Weidmann's execution by guillotine – the last public execution performed in France."

I'm going to swim against the tide and admit I feel a bit sorry for her. What she did was stupid and reckless, but not intentional. If she'd intended to cause an accident, she should absolutely face prison time...but she didn't. She deserves the shaming and she deserves to pay the large fine, but that's it.

Wouldn’t the Tour De France be liable? Proper roping off of crowds should have been in place. Something like this was bound to happen eventually. I’m not sure it’s worth tax payers’ money to put her on trial. It was an obvious accident on her part. No malicious intent.
Instead, figure out how to make the race safer for both the cyclists and spectators.
Could this woman end up suing for her own personal injuries and distress? Was she told she couldn’t stand where she was standing?
