WOMAN COULD DODGE JAIL FOR TOUR PILE-UP

THE spectator who caused one of the biggest pile-ups in Tour de France history faces a four-month suspended jail sentence after going on trial charged with injuring dozens of riders during last year’s race. The 31-year-old woman, whose identity is being hidden following online abuse, stepped into the path of the peloton to hold up a sign for passing TV cameras. She could be imprisoned for a year and fined €15,000 (£12,700) but yesterday prosecutors reportedly called for a four-month suspended jail sentence.
