Gerrans has as much right as anyone to be there. Presumable he was trying to place higher that Sagan, as there is a decent chance they will fight for yellow tomorrow...
I think Coquard said it was his handlebar bumping with Gerrans' that precipitated the crash.Suspicious said:This is the way the crash happened:
Cav was holding position behind someones wheel (forgotten who it was)
Gerrans tried to force Cav off the wheel and take his position
Cav pushed back with his head to defend his position
Gerrans kept pushing and they both fell over
It was Gerrans fault. It doesn't matter if he was slightly in front of Cav, Cav had a right to defend his line.
It's mostly against the fanboys. Cav caused the crash alright, but as LS said his move wasn't that bad. Just don't try to blame someone else, you know?djconnel said:I don't understand the hostility against Cavendish..

Amazing result from "Crash" Froome, finishing sixth. GC's over....

Arg for the win.
Arnout said:Cav wanted to go into a gap that didn't exist. Once he realized that he tried to create the gap by force. Good thing not a lot of other riders went down as a result.

P.S. Cav dumped all of his 60-70 kph of kinetic energy into his shoulder. Painful to watch....
