Vino attacks everyone said:If the speed in the peloton is low and the leader falls, you don't attack, just like you don't attack when the leader stops for a pee. If you have been going for it and he falls on the other hand, you don't stop I agree with you on that.
Obviously there is time and place for everything. But in a situation like today where Froome crashed in the last 10k (according to CN, i didn't watch the stage) of a medium mountain stage, if this was the last week of the Tour and you were running out of chances or knew you didn't have any chance of beating him one on one, imo Contador and the other challengers would be in their own right to finish him off.
