There was some confusion as to who caused the crash, wanted to clear that up with @AstanaTeam @vincenzonibali (definitely wasn’t me!)0 -

Oh not this sh*te again
The Astana bus currently in use is a kneeling bus.

Must have been some bloody big confusion considering Nibali got hit from the opposite side that Froome was on...!@chrisfroome Thu, 9th Jul 2015 17:28:51

Unless Froome thought it was Nibbles...0 -
Maybe...the way he says "definitely wasn't me!" made me think he felt someone thought he was responsible.

That seems likely. From Froome's position it would have appeared that Nibali tried to take him out.

That's some pretty strong dope he's on if he's still competing in the year 2105.
My (kind of) man Stybar with the win. Geezer. Very strange crash though.0 -
Wow if Froome went in there all 9inch guns blazing them he is a complete and utter dickhead. I hope Nibali told him how they deal with that sort of thing in Sicily.
Let's see what they say about it after so we have the facts.

Luke Rowe was the backup he took with him... I'd have taken Stannard!

Nibali said on twitter that he thought Froome took him out, but that he clarified that he wasn't Froome's fault (hence the "it definitely wasn't me" on Chris' twitter)0

Quite some bang on Froome there. Great work staying upright. He could have twisted some part of his gangly body quit badly.Contador is the Greatest0

Nibali's just tweeted an apology to Froome because Nibali originally thought Froome caused it.0 -
Google translated:Nibali said on twitter that he thought Froome took him out, but that he clarified that he wasn't Froome's fault (hence the "it definitely wasn't me" on Chris' twitter)After the fall I thought was @chrisfroome, but then he came to me and we have clarified and I apologized to him!!0 -

Haha, see, always need to wait for the facts
Nibali clearly needs to pay more attention if he thinks Froome caused that.
So either Froome went in there to clarify or he went in there to tell him to publicly back down or he sends in the Kenga.Contador is the Greatest0 -

Watching the video of the crash it is very clear he clips the wheel as the Europcar rider moves to the right.Contador is the Greatest0

Well done Frenchie. Far more sensible comments in response to the incident than at least one other, notable Contador fan."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0
