In normal (i.e. non pandemic) years there are often incidents where spectators get in the way
either by running alongside too closely - or by being dumb - such as trying to take a selfie
normally the rider gets angry or another person grabs the idiot and yanks him (it is normally a him) back out of the way

this one went too far and at a point where the riders were close and going at speed

it is only ever a very small number

so maybe we should start a movement
"Not all Spectators"!!!!

I immediately thought of Giuseppe Guerini on Alpe D'Huez.

She was an idiot but my heart aches for her! I know it’s an unpopular view and that people were badly hurt but it’s just an awful situation!
I agree actually. However, she's not going to prison and it sends a pretty strong message to spectators now to smarten their acts up.
Hope she's ok, it sounds pretty harrowing ordeal she's been through - again, another lesson for others.
