I'm guessing here but I suspect the driver isn't employed by the tour (ASO) so can't be sacked by them. It was probably just a vehicle licensed/permitted to be a part of the tour. I suspect that licence has been removed. Whether he's sacked or not is probably a matter for his employers (France Television?). I'd imagine the same sort of situation for the motorcycle rider too.
You must ask the question of whether there are too many 'licensed' vehicles allowed though. Are they call needed? In some of the shots of leaders or breakaways, it can sometimes take a moment or two to spot the cyclist(s) in amongst all the motorbikes/cars!
And yet, on the other hand, Van den Broeck was sat on the roadside waiting for an ambulance for quite a while. Presumably because the 2 available had already taken Vinokourov and Zabriskie to hospital.
I think it fair to say that ASO will be one-step ahead and reviewing the situation.
Edit: Interestingly, I read that Hoogerland (or maybe it was Flecha) doesn't blame the driver and says it was just an accident! Not quite sure I'd be so forgiving.
