I'm all for the 3 k rule, but not if you are not affected by the crash at all and use it as an opportunity to save energy.
Did you see Samu Sanchez getting royally screwed by the 3km rule last year? If you get caught behind a crash (through no fault of your own) but aren't deemed to be "in" the crash then it's tough luck. Result - make absolutely sure you're deemed to be in the crash.
You and I are spectators. For these guys its their job. They make a rule - the riders work to the rule. It's their JOB.
