Soleen Briand caused the accident in the Tour de France, after she waved a cardboard board in front of the riders.
And the woman, whose name was not revealed, was fined 1,200 euros for causing the accident, after she made the plate that was carried by German cyclist Tony Marten fall before the finish line, with dozens of runners joining him as well.
As a result of the accident, a number of injured runners were forced to not complete the course, which was between Brest and Llandreno in northwestern France, the BBC website reported.
Among those who pulled out of the race was Spanish cyclist Marc Soler, who had both arms broken.
At Solin’s trial, prosecutors demanded a four-month suspended sentence, accusing her of endangering life and causing unintended injuries.
Solin expressed her regret, acknowledging the seriousness of her behavior that caused the accident, which made the race organizers sympathize with her, so that the court satisfied the financial fine.
