So I saw another report that said that the woman was still in custody.
Due to medical-legal reasons.
I think there is 1 TDF rider (Soler) that thinks about making a legal complaint (or civil lawsuit? I don't know the details). He also fell and had fractures in both his arms (he did finish that day though) but he is not the rider that came into direct collision with the woman (that was Tony Martin).

So I don't know what the chances of such a claim would be.
I mean mass crashes in the peleton happen all the time in the TDF (the next day there were like 4 or 5 mass crashes).
If you don't want to crash into another driver that fell (for whatever reason), then in essence dont ride in the peleton where distances are minimal. Ride in front or ride in the rear.
Just like in normal traffic: if you drive 2 inches behind the car in front, at one point you will crash into that car.
I think that will be the result if a civil lawsuit would be held in case of the rider Solar.
