ZERO HEDGE — An oblivious and careless fan set off a horrific mass crash just as the famed annual multi-stage Tour de France was getting underway on Saturday. The fan was seen essentially posing for a selfie — trying to get on TV — in front of the pack of riders as they were coming up fast and tightly grouped.
While holding a handwritten sign that said “Allez Opi+Omi” (a hello message to her Grandpa and Grandma, apparently) the spectator stayed in front of the peloton up to the very moment a rider with no way to avoid the obstruction collided with the person, causing a chain reaction of crashes.

Dozens of riders went down in a pile-up so large it blocked the road for the rest of the pack, which sent at least one athlete to the hospital. […]
Good for Tour De France Officials to sue that Dumb-Ass; he’s Felony Stupid. Those cyclists spend a lifetime of brutal training just to make the cut for that one race tour.
On second thought; if he wasn’t on drugs or something stupid like that, I kinda feel sorry for him – cause the whole world is coming down on him for his carelessness.
