I don't think it's "low", but anyway, you should have expected it, because I've always been consistent with this - if there's a crash, the race must go on, whoever goes down.
off course but like this they are only racing to gap the ones that crashed, no other point i pacing at this time, i don't like it.

But there're some unwritten laws in peloton. Moves like this definitely doesn't get you any respect. |

No the echelons formed after the crash because of the pace. only a couple of riders were affected in the crash such as valverde(the group 40s back) the 2nd echelon was just because of the wind |

That's a completely different issue. Of course Sky won't get many friends from Movistar after this, but as a spectator I couldn't care less.

The information given out is horrible. Why aren't they showing the gap from the breakaway and how far left there is?

Looking better for Movistar despite the questionable timing of their attacks during the Tour... |

Having said that BMC now up the pace in the first group.
*Edit - BMC, Sky and Katusha working in that group.

Looks like Roche and Talansky are also in 2nd group. Can't confirm though.

No, maybe too many teams dislike them after July

Spot on and with SKY keep breaking the unwritten laws, they are going to become a very very lonely team if they keep it up.
They seem to forget that one day it might your guy in yellow/red/rosa who is down and when you have alienated 90% of the teams, guess who wont stop for you. |

About 13. That's the climb's length at least.
