Crashes between bicyclists and spectators at the Tour de France races

The Tour de France attracts more than 10 million spectators every year, but not everyone can observe the etiquette of watching the race.
The 2018 champion winner Thomas encountered such a situation.
He was grabbed by a fan on the arm and almost fell off from the bicycle.

At the 2021 Tour de France, a major crash was reported.
A fan holding a sign entered the lane.
Some bicyclists had no time to avoid her and hit the sign resulting in serious crashes.
This caused more bicyclists behind and beside them to crash.
Many were delayed in the race.

Some media reports described what happened.  
When the race reached the last 45 kilometers, a fan who was watching the race standing on the right side of the road was holding a banner and a cheer sign and was shouting excitedly on the side of the track.
However, she seemed to only be looking at the driver she supported and did not notice that she had already walked forward into the track.
The German bicyclist Tony Martin bumped into the sign she was holding, crashed to the left and fell to the ground.
This also affected most of the riders who also crashed and became trapped.
The Dutch Belkin Professional Team (Team Jumbo-Visma) to which Tony Martin belongs was severely affected.
Although Martin himself was injured, he still completed the race; the bicyclist of the German DSM Team (Team DSM), Jasha Sutterlin, was seriously injured and had to quit the race.

The French woman, who was in her 30s, immediately escaped from the scene after discovering the seriousness of the crashes.
She surrendered to the police a few days later and was put in custody.
Brest prosecutor Camille Miansoni confirmed the incident.

Tour de France officials confirmed that they would take legal action against the woman, saying "We are prosecuting this woman who behaved so egregiously, and we are doing this so as to prevent this kind of behavior of some people from ruining the event for others."
French authorities revealed that the woman is currently being held in Landerneau.
Prosecutors said the woman could face up to two years in prison and a $35,000 fine.
