Tour de France: Organizers drop legal action against woman who caused crash
Published
CHATEAUROUX, France - Tour de France organizers said they have dropped their legal action against a spectator who caused a massive crash on the first stage.
Organizers made the decision in a bid to defuse the situation after the careless spectator was placed in custody, race spokesperson Fabrice Tiano said on Thursday.
Gendarmes in Brittany arrested her on Wednesday, four days after the accident brought down dozens of riders and forced German rider Jasha Sutterlin to abandon the race.
The spectator brandished a large cardboard sign while leaning into the path of oncoming riders. She appeared to be looking in the other direction, apparently at a camera, and not at the approaching peloton.
Cabe recordar que la policía de la región de Bretaña arrestó a la mujer el miércoles, cuatro días después que el accidente derribó a docenas de ciclistas, provocando que el alemán Jasha Sutterlin abandonara la ronda.
Todo comenzó cuando los espectadora exhibió un enorme cartel y se arrimó a la ruta cuando el pelotón de corredores se aproximaba. Dio la impresión que miraba hacia otra dirección, al parecer hacia una cámara, y no en el inminente pelotón que cruzaba en ese instante. Se arrimó justo en la ruta que debía transitar el veterano corredor Tony Martin, quien cayó de la bicicleta y con él un grupo considerable de competidores.
