Plus the first fall coming after 2km already, because they thought it'd be a good idea to have a fairly high-speed corner filled with a boatload of 'road furniture'

Wow, some fucking idiot 'fan' with some idiotic cardboard sign makes nearly literally half the peloton crash, including some bad ones  

 

Absolute idiot, I hope he/she (couldn't see) will face the consequences...

Just started to feel happy about spectators before we had our first crash caused by it!

Cycling is one of the few sports which was, at least in some places and moments, actually better during the pandemic restrictions.

Took all of 1 day for an idiot fan to forget not to get too close to the riders and completely fuck up the 1st stage.  Someone needs to find that guy and publicly shame the shit out of him

Apparently it was a woman  

 

And yeah, also forgot rule number one when going to watch cycling: face the freaking peloton so you see them coming.

But she wasn't there to watch cycling, she was there to get noticed on tv

I feel like that's a good rule in life, not just when you're watching cycling.  If there's traffic headed in your direction and you don't actually have eyes in the back of your head, maybe check to see what's oncoming!

Yeah good point

 

Should have said "when you're standing on the side of the road where a peloton is about to pass"
