Plus she did a runner.pblakeney said:
This. Her fault, and her fault alone.bobmcstuff said:
Well, she should feel bad about it to be fair.salsiccia1 said:
Indeed. But I can't help feeling a bit sorry for her. I'm obviously sorry for the riders too but it's the sort of thing that could torment her for the rest of her life.bobmcstuff said:
The police should throw the bike at her.
This reads like a casualty list from a war zone.

That doesn't sound great for Froome.0

Indeed, and with injuries like that a good night's rest isn't always guaranteed.0

Can’t remember where I posted it but I was saying how JA always turns up to the big races on form despite what he’s up to in the build up.
Thought today was quite remarkable. That was a big big effort.0 -
I assume most of his injuries are from other riders hitting him as bruising to the thorax sounds quite unusual.0
-
I've seen some of Gruber's photos on Instagram. Very good one of JA crossing the line, there's also a couple of Sbaragli who really looked quite beaten up.0

It was impressive. I had doubts about how he'd go, given he left a race to become a dad a few weeks ago. Turns out I should have been paying attention to your posts. Who'd a thunk it?rick_chasey said:Can’t remember where I posted it but I was saying how JA always turns up to the big races on form despite what he’s up to in the build up.

At least half the peloton must have tasted tarmac yesterday. Yet Geraint stayed up. What odds would you get on that?Warning No formatter is installed for the format0

Think that only includes those that were treated by the tour's medics. To take just one team, AG2R reported the following (via Procycling Stats on Twitter) - only two of the five injured were reported in the Cycling Tips list:thejimmymethod said:Cyclingtips gave a split: https://cyclingtips.com/2021/06/21-riders-were-injured-on-stage-1-of-the-tour-de-france/

He seems to go down in freak accidents. Wouldn't have been surprised if the sign had hit him though.No_Ta_Doctor said:At least half the peloton must have tasted tarmac yesterday. Yet Geraint stayed up. What odds would you get on that?

That bidon in the Giro was just unbelievably unlucky.0

And the time he got blown off the road by the wind at Gent-Wevelgem. At least he kept going after that one.Twitter: @RichN951 -
The police would like to charge the women with the cardboard sign for the offence of leaving the scene of an accident.0

I think it needs some to have an example made of them to make spectators realise they need to think about their actionsTheBigBean said:The police would like to charge the women with the cardboard sign for the offence of leaving the scene of an accident.

It makes me think that there isn't any other charge they can think of if they are using that. After all, a lot of cyclists also left the scene yesterday.Pross said:

Yeah, I'm struggling to think of an equivalent UK charge where stupidity leads to others being injured. It usually becomes a civil issue. I guess they can argue the details of the riders are recorded by the race but it does feel tenuous.0

The organizers of the Tour de France on Thursday withdrew their complaint against the woman who caused the fall during the 1st stage. A decision taken "for the sake of appeasement" in the face of "the media packaging" caused by this affair, in the words of Pierre-Yves Thouault, deputy director of the Tour de France.
An investigation had been opened by the gendarmerie and entrusted to the Landerneau brigade for "involuntary injuries with incapacity not exceeding three months by manifestly deliberate violation of an obligation of safety or prudence" . On Wednesday, this woman had finally presented to the gendarmerie and had been taken into custody in the wake.
Pierre-Yves Thouault recalls that "attention must be focused on the runners and not on the public" while inviting spectators to scrupulously respect the safety rules.

Maybe someone should nip round to his and give him the same injuries as Mark Soller and will see if he’s still lol.RichN95. said:Even noted rapper 50 Cent (real name Arthur Doller) has weighed in on the matter
