I think it was the1958 Tour when Andre Darrigade crashed into Constant Wouters (the track Director) on the Parc des Princes track. Darrigade was badly injured, Wouters died- the picture of the crash is very famous. The point is, cycling is bloody dangerous for rider and spectator alike, always has been, always will be.
