Police open investigation into crash in which Tour de France car swerved ... - Washington Post

Violet said investigators are acting quickly to interview anyone involved in the crash — if possible, the riders — before the Tour de France moves on and witnesses leave the area.

Team Sky rider Flecha was hit by a Tour television car trying to pass him on a narrow road, knocking him into Hoogerland.

Team Sky manager Dave Brailsford said Monday "all options are open" as to how the team responds.

"We're working to establish exactly what the facts of the situation are, to really understand what the car was doing there," Brailsford told a news conference on the Tour's first rest day. "Having established the facts, we can then look at all the different options available to us. And we can then decide which ones we want to pursue."
