I have not seen any of the stages of this year's tour and no longer follow who's who anymore. Part of traditional road bike racing has to deal with bad road conditions and road obstacles but some of those new European road dividers and signs that are up in the middle of the road are jsut horrible for bike races. I know there are someone waving a flag in front of some but if any one had done some racing should know that the rider may or may not call them out but weave immediately on purpose causing the wheel suckers to smack right into the curb or sign. I have seen it happen more them a few times on video. I don't remember who, but it was a three men break and the third rider ran right into the motor bike. Sometimes they do this on purpose to eliminate the stronger rider. Its every man for himself.
With selfies, so many spectators face the other way making dangerous for the riders because they will use every inch of the gutter.
