Agree with this^^Bernie's eyesore said:With Thomas getting a free ride in the second group there was no reason for Stannard to spend so much time on the front. You have to wonder what sort of attack he is capable of if he develops a better tactical brain. It made sense for him to chase down Voeckler though, would people think Sky's tactics were better if he just hadn't bothered? Hayman got a podium out of it after all.

Good news for Jack Bauer. He was quickly released from hospital and while he was knocked out briefly, has full recollection around the crash

serfla said:I have impression that Voeckler was duped by his breakaway companions. He was making his trademark faces and gestures after the last climb, wanting to provoke some reaction in the group.
When he made his move, the group first held him on a short leash for a while, and then gave him some more space. He isn't the most popular colleague, that's sure.
Nevertheless, Voeckler would have succeeded if Stannard didn't decide to take that massive turn at the front.
