The reflex to call sabotage brings back last summer’s cable fires, though those were aimed precisely at avoiding anyone getting hurt — forty-four injured is a different order of thing altogether. And Brétigny took the best part of a decade to explain, so until the track itself is read properly I’d keep the theory at arm’s length.
