The crash was the first of two on Saturday, which ended with French cyclist Julian Alaphilippe winning the first stage of the 21-stage race.
Tour officials, who tweeted a video requesting spectators “respect the safety of the riders,” are suing the woman “so that the tiny majority of people who do this don’t spoil the show for everyone,” per CBS News. But first, they’ll have to find her.
