Now I don't really agree with this. Yes he was riding close to the spectators. But the woman was leaning out to see them, and could see what path they were taking, and was slow in moving back to let him through. I think when the spectators are able to get so close to the riders it's their responsibility to make sure they don't impede them in any way. Most sports have big barricades up so the athletes are safe. They're really very vulnerable on those high mountains with so many people so excited. Lance couldn't have realised her hand was going to be still sticking out in his way.
