It is believed that no serious injuries occurred.
Two days ago there was a crash at stage 14, with Antonio Pedrero, Esteban Chaves, Louis Meintjes, and Ruben Guerreiro all abandoning the race.
The 31-year-old French woman, whose identity was withheld, was also ordered to pay one symbolic euro to France's professional cyclist association.

Prosecutors had asked for a four-month suspended jail term on the charges of endangering lives and causing unintentional injuries.
Race organisers had previously withdrawn their complaint and called for everyone to 'calm down' after the woman faced a torrent of abuse.
Under French law she could have faced a fine of up to 15,000 euros (£12,700) and a year in prison for the charges.
