Interestingly, there was a gendarmerie who caused a horrific crash in 1994, pretty much ended Wilfred Nilessen's career, and left Laurent Jalabert with a lengthy time off. The policeman appeared to have stepped out from the barrier to take a photo during the final sprint and Nilessen hit him but the 'Official Investigation' found that there was no camera and he had done nothing wrong, nobody got sued or arrested. It was way worse than the crash the other day. There was also one when a French TV car plowed into a few riders flinging them off into some barbed wire, ouch.Located, and in custody. Sounds like the French aren't going to go easy on someone who screws up La Grand Boucle!

This one didn't really look that bad to me if I am honest, an idiot wanting her 5 seconds of fame but does it warrant possibly ruining her financially? What will they sue her for do you think? loss of advertising, equipment damage, medical bills for the riders, loss of earnings. I don't know but it seems a bit OTT to me.
I clicked on the Twitter link to the Cycling Reporters sensational tweet 'The Worst TDF crash I have EVER SEEN' bs. Seems like he hasn't been watching the tour very long, muppet. This seems to have suitably whipped up the Twitter mob into baying for her blood.
