However, I feel bad for the woman who caused it. What she did was a stupid mistake versus intentionally interfering with the race:
Police hunt for Tour de France fan, who caused crash
Prosecutors in Brittany have launched a criminal inquiry after the unidentified female caused a massive crash during the Tour de France and went on the run. She could be jailed for up to a year.
