Massive fall during the Tour de France: the spectator with the sign in front of justice

The message to his grandparents on the road to the Tour de France could cost him dearly. The woman who had caused a massive fall of runners by holding up a sign during the first stage in June, is judged Thursday in Brest. "Go opi-omi!" --grandpa-grandma in German, her grandmother being of German origin-- she had written in large letters on a piece of cardboard addressed to her grandparents, unconditional fans of the Grande Boucle. It was June 26, in the town of Sizun, 45 km from the finish of the first stage of the Tour, part of Brest. The young woman, who lives in Finistère, had brandished her sign by encroaching on the roadway, with her back to the peloton. Several runners, launched at high speed, had not been able to avoid it. The German Tony Martin, the first to fall, had involved in his fall many other cyclists. Her message went around the world, but the consequences of what the 31-year-old called "foolishness" were severe.
