Update :
The Tour de France has withdrawn a lawsuit against a spectator suspected of causing a huge crash by waving a sign in the riders' path on Saturday.

The woman was arrested, but now the Tour has dropped the case.

"We are withdrawing our complaint. This story has been blown out of proportion but we wish to remind everyone of the safety rules on the race," said Tour director .

"If you come to the Tour, you hold your kid, you hold your pet and don't cross the road carelessly. And above all, you respect the riders - they're the ones worthy of live TV."

Police say they are trying to trace a spectator in connection with a multi-rider pile-up during the first stage of the Tour de France on Saturday.

She  faces up to a year in prison after causing the injuries of 21 riders in one of the worst-ever crashes in the history of the Tour de France,

The female spectator was spotted leaning into the path of the speeding peloton, holding a sign.

German rider Tony Martin brushed into the sign and fell to the ground, with others behind him following suit.

Police say they have launched a criminal investigation.

They aim to charge the woman with "deliberately violating safety regulations and causing injuries that might prevent someone working for up to three months".

1 year in prison for this is a bit farfetched, France has the audacity to give a couple years for pedos, but then big sentences for things like this. She didnt do it on purpose, just give her a light punishment. By the way she escaped and hid anyways I hope they dont find her, they are way too dramatic

These peloton races specifically are just so hilarious to me :ladyhaha:

How do they even work? What?

How do you overtake a cyclist when even a small paper sign / inconvenience can cause such a chain crash accident? :ladyhaha:

I'm sry I shouldn't laugh.

*Wendy Williams voice* DEATH TO THE PAPER SIGN LADY! :ladyhaha:

That tells you a lot about her knowing of her wrong doing.

Who would wanna go to jail for 1 year for this???? Honestly.. And they give 2 years sentences for pedos, a disgrace. The justice system is a joke here

Totally. Her behavior was reckless and careless but doesn't seem to be malicious. She wanted to show the sign in front of cyclists on camera and was stupid about it. She probably ran and hid because she realized what a stupid thing she just did

I'm not equating (because duh) but again, she escaped and hid for a reason.

It's up to a year, that's just the max you can take. Obviously she wouldn't have that, probably no jail at all since it's not malicious. 

However now that she's escaped she could face a lot more

Exactly! Was that stupid? Yes. Should she be punished? Yes. But not with 1 year of prison! She didn't do it on purpose after all. I think she was just a bit... dumb ?

1 year in jail? 

Well, it's not like she plotted to cause an accident on purpose.

I'd be surprised if she serves any jail time.  Her biggest mistake is fleeing the scene instead of staying and showing remorse and offering to pay for any damage to bikes and medical expenses for any injuries.  She might not have even been charged with a crime if she had done that.  Her biggest penalty would be a criminal record which would be seen by future employers.  Who would hire a person proven to be stupid when there are other applicants with clean records.  It's all so tragic, but there needs to be consequences and I hope not jail time.

I live outside the space time continuum.
