The spectator behind one of the biggest pile-ups in Tour de France history was on Thursday fined for the incident at this year’s event in which dozens of riders were injured.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A court in Brest, western France, ordered the 31-year old French woman, whose identity was withheld after she was targeted by a torrent of online abuse, to pay a fine of 1,200 euros ($1,350).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was also told to pay one symbolic euro to the French professional cyclists association UNCP which was a plaintiff at the trial. Prosecutors had asked for a four-month suspended jail term on the charges of endangering lives and causing unintentional injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
