    If G had never crashed before then you might have a bit more of a leg to stand on with this

    Hopefully not. If true then a colossal tactical error

    I think his conscience was weighing so heavily on him he fell over.

    AG2R have really dropped a bomb into the peloton. A lot of people will loose out today and they don't look any more or less likely to come out on top than anyone else. Exciting stuff
