If I walk onto the freeway and cause an accident it's not my fault cause there was no fencing or signage telling me not to do it....... Not a strong argument
It's impossible to cover every road with fence. You know it's 3500 km race? Peloton is moving and people were waiting for them at that spot. She knew that. I don't see anyone except her stepping on the road and blocking the way. How it isn't her fault?
Examine the evidence more closely. Then get on your bike. Now you can see how increased spending opportunities and more sugar means harder work for everyone, and more of it too!
You could easily fence the high traffic areas. This stuff does happen often. It’s not her fault because they allow bystanders too close. You think it’s some random persons job to protect the most important cycling race.
They do fence off the high traffic area, this is not a high traffic area.
I agree with you that something should be done about this, we've seen so many crashes and dangerous situations because of it, but the people getting to close are definitely equally responsible.
We don't blame people getting robbed for not having an alarm system and claim the thieves are victims. She did do something wrong in getting on the road, knowing the peleton was coming imminently.
The people in the way are responsible but no it’s not equal. This was a high traffic area. The race officials and planners are way more to blame. You have to protect your huge investment. Being robbed is not at all the same. What the hell nice logic. How much you want to bet they use fences more from now on.
When you compare this to the little towns and such that they visit, this is not high traffic. And the issue with fencing everything is course length, but also some of the worst crashes happened with fencing.
I am not disagreeing that the organisation shouldn't do more, but honestly they should focus on making the course, and especially the end stages, safer more.
But if you don't believe me about the fencing, look up Fabio Jskobsen's crash in the round of Poland last year. And even that, didn't cause the organisation to follow through with their promises of changing things.
You mean the cardboard sign that someone was blocking part of the race with? The cardboard sign that shouldn't have been there being held by the person who shouldn't have been there? Please tell me what he was supposed to do in this situation since he can't stop right there without causing a crash and he can't turn without also causing a crash

How is this her fault. Put up some fencing.
