Wish I hadn't mentioned security now, as unfortunately the news breaking from Nice is that a lorry has been driven into a Bastille day crowd. The mayor has tweeted that dozens have died:

(That's not verified though).
Practically I think Tour crowds or the peloton itself would be hard to target but yes the Champs Elysees is a different scenario.
Security risks aside yes I think we can all agree they need to get their shit together and sort the motorbike and spectator problems.
