The flash of passing cyclists paused briefly at the start of the fourth day of the Tour de France Tuesday as riders protested road conditions after a number of crashes marred the third stage.

A Tour de France official says the organization will sue a spectator who caused a pileup of cyclists by stepping into their path in the first stage of the race Saturday. The crash was the first of two as the famed bicycle race returned to its spot on the sports calendar following last years delay because of the coronavirus pandemic.
