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.
But there're some unwritten laws in peloton. Moves like this definitely doesn't get you any respect.
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.
You just described what happened to Movistar there
So? Revenge is even lower thing then initiative (if that's the case).

Mate will get picked up. Gap only 4 minutes. And it's going back out to Valverde, he willl not get back.

I didn't use that word the difference here instead of crash then attack was attack then crash. Whether you then think Sky, Katusha and BMC should then sit up is totally debatable of course but one thing is for sure that having friends in cycling is always useful so all actions should be considered carefully even without the moral aspect |

Nobody wants to pace now. Could possibly open up a small chance for Valverde to make his way back.

Who is talking about revenge? its just the way of the land.
If your a dirtbag then expect dirt back.
SKY have done it before and despite them being English i have never seen a worse team then them when it comes to playing by the unwritten rules, its like they think just because they are a strong team they can do what ever they want. |

De Kort is a beast. Terribly underrated, but a good rider on all terrains, even sprints and now mountains! |

Quintana had to let Valverde go. So for for him finishing in the top 10.

I know, but there's just no reason for him to do this.
Or he'll get some money from Rabobank
