Police Arrest Tour de France Fan Who They Say Caused Crash.
A cardboard sign stopped a speeding pack of cyclists on Saturday, sending dozens crashing to the pavement.
Charges were dropped. FYI I may have heard if they crash within 3k (?) of the finish line they get the time and can continue if they're able, of course. Just found it.
"As of 2005, riders who crash in the final 3km of most stages are awarded the time of the group they were riding with prior to hitting the deck. The rule is laid out in Article 20 of the Tour de France rulebook."
