During Stage 1 of the Tour de France, a fan caused a huge crash that took out the majority of the peloton.
Tour de France organizers have said they will sue the spectator who caused the massive pileup.
The roadside fan who caused a giant crash in the first stage of the 2021 Tour de France on Saturday will be sued by the organizers.
A woman held up a banner while standing on the edge of the road and was looking straight at the television motorbike cameras, with her back turned on the speeding peloton.
