The hill split the peloton but the front isn't interested to escape. Or was there some other drama?

It was a crash though we're getting no replays at all of the incident.

Vichot seemed very annoyed with either the crowd or a vehicle? Couldn't really tell.

Interesting to not see more of the team drop back to help Contador. And they didn't go back to help Degenkolb earlier either. So who exactly are they racing for now?

Contador is ridiculous. How did he manage to fall there?
I'll defend Bertie for once and say that often when you crash once everything gets stiff and it's easier to crash again.

Both I think, hell if I'm Contador I'd consider dropping time and going for breaks.

No need for more men if he is still riding between the cars.

Yeesh, I love Contie, but his inability to stay upright makes me cringe at times.
Seemed to be just Trek involved in that crash as well. So even when his teammates are protecting him, he ends up on the deck - so frustrating. His various DSs over the last few years must despair at it; all the planning and months of preparation and the guy just keeps crashing in the Tour.

I have a feeling Bora banked on the Tour regarding their worldwide promotion.
Now they're trying to pull something out of the race after the publicity decimation in the first week.
