I guess what happened to Froome could have happened to anyone, but was it made more likely by his age? Slower reflexes, lapses in concentration?
One of the more remarkable achievements of LA, doping aside, is that for 7 straight years he never had a significant crash. Then he comes out of retirement, and starts falling all over the place. A broken collarbone I think in early 2009. A bad crash in the 2010 Tour.
The counter argument, I guess, is that with age comes experience and caution.
