Tour de France 2011 talk

The problem with that is that then none of us get to see the Tour. They are the only ones that are filming it.

I'm sure the driver of that car is not only gone from the tour, but likely gone from their job too.

I remember watching the bike race in Philly and marveling at how the drivers were maneuvering the roads through Manayunk. It was some amazing car handling. Which makes this driver's move all the more baffling to me.

I think TV France is only one of the stations that actually films, but perhaps I am wrong. [Edited: I just read in a news item that it was a car belonging to France 2 and France 3, which are public channels. So it wasn't TV France.] Even so, there should be a major penalty--perhaps a large fine--that they should incur as a result of this. Apparently that car was chauffeuring network executives and wasn't even filming.

And where is the public apology? I haven't seen a single news item from TV France apologizing for the crash.
