When a spectator step up more than one meter up the road and don’t move when the peleton arrive than you better stay home. You have no respect for the riders. I hope you feel really guilty! I have to leave @LeTour because of you #TDF2023
"I hope you feel really guilty": 13th overall Steff Cras has to abandon Tour de France after collision with fan

Steff Cras has been riding the Tour de France of his life. Above expectations, performances in the mountains brought the 27-year-old Belgian to 13th overall after just a week of racing. However, that's the end of the story for Cras who had to abandon in the final of stage 8 after a hard crash.
On Twitter, Cras himself reveals the true circumstances of the fall. "If you step forward a meter as a spectator and do not want to move when the peloton comes, then you better stay at home."
"You have no respect for the riders," Cras addresses the spectator directly. "I hope you feel very guilty! Because of you I have to leave the Tour!"
The TotalEnergies rider was immediately taken to hospital, his team gave a medical update two hours after the finish: "Steff has several bruises on his elbow and hip, but fortunately no fractures."

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
