    Do you think there is a video with someone throwing nails on the track? No there isn't. No one is zooming the cameras on a lap car that is 4 laps down is going 30mph slower when the driver reaches in his glove compartment and grabs a few nails and thows them out of the window.

    Nascar is aware of the problem and it tried to fix it in the past:

    Is NASCAR going to start punishing teams for throwing water bottles and other garbage from their cars onto the track? Should they punish them for it?

        No pavy I don't think there's a video of the crowd, but you know there is if they look.

        Moreso, if there's debris on the track, there's a good chance cameras will see it.

        That's a story about water bottles you linked, lol.

        I'll ask again, this time just yes or no, let's give you another chance here...

        Did that happen for sure?..
        Why are you having so much trouble answering this Pavy???????

        Sup?????

          Judging by Pavy's answer, we don't know that's what happened.

          The driver and team did say they felt there was some debris out there as the tires should have been fine.

          There's no investigation or anything about yesterday's flat.

          It's a non story as nobody is interested in getting to the bottom of it...yet.

          It just goes down as a last lap flat tire...for now.

            KVB this is my final response. The car obviously hit debris to get a flat tire especially since it was leading which means it was the first car that hit the debris.

            The debris could have been accidentally dropped form a lap car, intentionally dropped from a lap car or a fan may bave threw something on the track.

            Do I know 100% what happened? No.

            But what happened was one of the 3 options I presented.

              “We are suing this woman who behaved so badly,” Pierre-Yves Thouault, the tour’s deputy director, told Agence France-Presse. “We are doing this so that the tiny minority of people who do this don’t spoil the show for everyone.”

              They aim to charge the woman with "deliberately violating safety regulations and causing injuries that might prevent someone working for up to three months".

              However, the woman, who fled the scene, had not immediately been found, according to Ouest France (via France 24).

                Thank you Pavy, I had a pretty strong feeling this was hyperbole, or at the very least, unverified...

                Amazing how you struggled in this thread pavy, even went to a link about water bottles, you couldn't even follow a yes or no instruction...

                So your answer is no.

                Thank you, lol. Thought we had a story here, but we don't.

                Go get some coffee pavy, let's sharpen up a bit, it's still early and we have some night action.

                Good Luck if you're betting tonight.

                          Van der Poel was super impressive winning Stage 2. That guy is going to be really good, really soon. Maybe next year.

                              Sucks for the riders. It was a pretty funny sunny sight though.


                              That would make a great Southwest Airlines wanna get away commercial.

                                    Did one of you guys toss some nails on the race track or knock over a biker causing a chain reaction?

                                    No?

                                    Then I suggest you dance and make up.

                                    Dogs and cats in here, I tell ya.

                                        What do you think Chucky, will they start pusing the fans back away from the action on the course in future events?

                                          Imagine being as goddamn stupid and self-involved as this woman. Jesus christ

                                          I'd feel bad for her if it was even remotely understandable, but like, her sign (and her extended arm behind it) was in the way of more than 10% of an extremely crowded track, what the actual hell did she expect to happen?

                                              She is probably the worst German to have ever lived.

                                              Right???
