Police Searching For Fan Whose Sign Caused Massive Tour De France Crash

Fans of cycling and sports in-general are no doubt aware of the massive crash on the first day of the Tour De France on Saturday. During the race, a fan could be seen holding up a sign that read, “Allez Opi-Omi” – translated, that means “Go Grandma & Grandpa.”

That sign did indeed make the TV feed, but it also got in the way of one of the cyclists, who went down, causing a domino-effect that led to one of the worst mass-crashes in the in history of the race…we’re talking dozens of competitors biting it.

Cops are now looking to make an example of the sign-holder, and when the person’s found they can expect full prosecution, which could include a fine of over $18K and up to a year in prison. By taking it seriously, authorities hope to discourage future sign-disruptors, intentional or accidental.
