Tour de France organisers withdraw lawsuit against spectator who caused mass crash

Big mistake, the organization and individuals that were in the crash should prosecute this idiot.

Race deputy director Pierre-Yves Thouault stated after the stage that ASO would sue the woman, saying, "We are suing this woman who behaved so badly. We are doing this so that the tiny minority of people who do this don't spoil the show for everyone."

However, Reuters reported ahead of Thursday's stage 6 that ASO will not take legal action against the 30-year-old woman.

She faces charges of 'involuntarily causing injury' and a €1,500 fine for her role in causing the crash, which saw DSM rider Jasha Sütterlin abandon the race with a hand injury and Movistar's Marc Soler leave the race later on after suffering fractures to both elbows and a wrist. Eight other riders were seen by the race doctor and numerous others suffered minor injuries.

Idiot.
