Ridiculous.

The race was on and would Froome have gone to the front to call a halt if it was Quintana who lost support riders like this.

Valverde didn't look too happy and rightly so.

That piss has screwed up so many riders races. Yates had got 2 minutes on Barguil in pursuit of young riders classification. The peleton still had a chance of winning the stage and bonus seconds would been distributed to the winner. It has messed the day up as a viewing spectacle also. All because Froome went for a bloody piss cos his team mates had crashed.
I think they're responsible for their own decision. If Orica wanted to carry on pulling to protect Yates' advantage they should have done. It's their own fault if they got bullied by Sky.

So what? Riders don't have their own will? Do they have to obey Cancellara?

They should say f*** you Mr. Froome, we are riding on.
this, movistar should have driven the pace, but besides whining about the danger caused by the wind we hear nothing from them
