If you look at this image you can see Van Garderen at the back but no Quintana ( the one on the left is Valverde). So he was in front of Yates, Aru, Purito etc. after the place of the crash
Yeah Gerrans crashed out so Yates should get s.t. as Mollema as well.
Quintana was just in front of Aru right there, yet still he got s.t with all others even though he was clearly dropped. I am pretty sure that he and Movistar whined to jury like they did in Romandie
just to play devil's advocate is there a case that Porte is culpable (at least in part) as he chose to draft so closely behind the moto, which gave him no time to react?

I agree, I have just watched highlights and Quintana is definitely in that group when they reach the crash.
How sad are the people booing Froome on the podium, so sad.

Re:
As far as I can see, Trek's complaint relates only to Quintana being given the same time as the Yates group.

Re:
It is 100% the responsibility of the motorbike to keep far enough ahead. Porte had zero responsibility to slow just because the motorbike was slowing. It was reasonable of him to expect it to re-accelerate. Unfortunately, a bunch of drunken idiots ensured that didn't happen.

I agree but he choose to draft behind the moto, when he could have been offset from it.

Indeed, it boils my piss too, who gives a solitary shite who's rolling in 6th, 7th or 8th from the breakaway when there's a GC battle behind them?

Regardless of all the crash talk, Quintana looked weak, I really thought he was keeping his powder dry to blow everyone away, yet he was outclimbed by Porte, Froome, Mollema, and it looked like everyone in the second group were stronger than him. Even his early attacks were pretty weak. Maybe he was just on a bad day.
Re: Re:
Not sure the road was wide enough to have much choice; the motos are supposed to open up the crowd a bit for the riders as well. In ten years of racing this is probably the first time the moto hasn't just zoomed away from him in that situation, it's a bit harsh to blame him at all.mc_mountain said:
Re:
He was attacking/increasing the pace. Had a small gap on Froome. Moto was too slow. Not in any way his fault.

Re: Re:
well,seeing what TBM said afterwords i don't think so.if he was the only one to hit the edeck,would have been the same decision?TMP402 said:
When we see the peloton rolling through small towns and villages, and the people are calmly lined on the sidewalks and the sides of the road, cheering on the riders: this should be the standard. Sad to see Ventoux even worse than the Alpe in this regard.

Re: Re:
That was a huge ASO fail, it's probably the biggest stage with the largest crowds on the 14th of July and they can't even put up a few barriers. Ok, you moved the finish, but they had more than enough time and manpower to fix the problem, that was something that I'd expect from Mauro Vegni.
Back to the race, great ride by Mollema, Aru did pretty well if you consider that he had a few problems before the actual climb, Dan Martin already cracking on an Unipublic stage is a surprise.
This, everyone would just pull an Andy Schleck if he got dropped with 2km to go.Pantani Attacks said:

Re: Re:
Yes, of course he could have just ridden on top of the spectators on the sides of the road ? Would be real easy for him. And after falling, a motorbike drove over Froome's bike, that's just racing eh ?

Re: Re:
Today they had to show the finish of the first Frenchman on Bastille Day. But after Navarro, I agree that there was no reason IMO to watch anybody else from the breakaway cross the line.
