Clearly Farrars fault...
Yes, he was begging to get trampled, lose an opportunity to top ten and get injured

Farrar is not so innocent here...
He's riding. The Lampre guy pulls off and hits him with his shoulder. Couldn't handle the pace? He was right back on it after Farrar was trampled.
No!
Farrar was leaning on Veelers and then Veelers/ Argos Train sped up. Farrar had nothing to lean on, and flopped onto the ground. I just watched the replay.
Exactly, Farrar is slow and dangerous

It helps that the expectations for the Tour are always waaaay lower.

True. At least amongst actual cycling fans.

Actually, you are kinda right. Lampre guy cuts in front of Farrar, then he has no clue what to do, so moves over himself, leans on Veelers a bit, then smashes into someones wheel and falls over.

That might be true but this year's Giro was just boring as hell. |

Does it matter who caused the crash? They don't do it on purpose (most of them). It's a sprint and things get hectic. Crashes are inevitable.
Pozzato sucks!

Yes, Farrar is at a little fault for leening, but the brunt was the lampre guy.

Sagan looking fine on the podium - by the time he came off his speed was drastically reduced. |

The Argos guy was bumping as well. They were bumping each other, Lampre guy pulls back into him. What are you seeing?

Doesn't he always look like that 
Mainly meant no obvious injury, though.
