Some riders are suggesting the issue is too many motorbikes:
“There were so many motorbikes in the way, it wasn’t safe,You had to brake when you were attacking. " (Bardet)

Can the police bikes carry pillion?
If so, how about a deterrent angle to the problem - just a loose idea, but what if there were a few more police bikes (the 'stills' photography bikes could be reduced to compensate) with pillion cops?
Idiots who cause danger/threaten rider safety could be immediately identified. A couple of the pillion cops jump off and immediately detain them.
A police van follows the team cars and the miscreants are suitably dealt with in court.

Too many photographers on motobikes seems to be the problem. They have to keep the TV motos unless the top cyclists want to forgo their millions of Euros. It's really unedifying seeing photographers jumping off motos and sticking a camera in the face of a fallen rider in any case.

The fact that 6km worth of RVs had to come down the hill to see the race and then no barriers in last km or so made this the problem it was, kind of an unusual scenario and one I am sure ASO will have learned from.
