Yeah sorry, I heard he spent the night in jail, but it was a wild guess about the charge. Was that what they hit him with? Seemed easy enough. Or...littering?

From Sporza: The French police were able to quickly apprehend the person who threw chips during the Tour de France. The 32-year-old Breton spent a night sobering up in jail and is being questioned today, as reported by Le Parisien. [...] He is accused of intentional assault.

Wild guess? Drunk in public. Spend the night in the can.

A Pringles can, hopefully.

I wonder what kind of crime throwing chips at people actually is, though. And is it punished harder if you‘re in a bike race?

first degree littering

first degree littering

Littering with intent?

Wasn't he second in front of Vingegaard?

Yeah, of course. My error!

Assault

My (not entirely serious) suggestion for how the chips-thrower should be punished:

Tied to a chair for one hour, with the riders being allowed to throw chips at him.
If he can catch a chip in his mouth and eat it, he'll be allowed to be freed early.

Change that to microchips and I'm on-board.

Fatco would win the GC of chip eating contest. If he had passed the chip sprint first this would have never happened to pogi/vingo

Nuisance, in law, a human activity or a physical condition that is harmful or offensive to others and gives rise to a cause of action. A public nuisance created in a public place or on public land, or affecting the morals, safety, or health of the community, is considered an offense against the state.
