Amidst all this Froomy fell off his bike twice and Contador attacked. Nice to see SKY being pushed a bit.

the race was definitely on, so Froome's two falls were just too bad.
On the commentary I was watching the point was made that it was maybe the Contador attack which pushed everyone and it was/is no coincidence that riders start to mak mistakes when put under pressure.....
Edit to add - it was David Millar! he said that Bertie's attacks force mistakes from competitors and that is part of the point of doing so.

Nibali's post-stage interview on itv4 was rather prickly about the subject. It seemed like Nibali was inclined to wait and was a bit offended by any question about whether he did, but when Froome didn't return from the first crash soon (not sure he was aware of the second), they felt they had to chase Bertie - and Bertie had attacked well before the crash so was perfectly entitled to. Possibly Nibali felt the first crash was a freak one on slippy roads which could have happened to any of them, rather than poor skill - Is it notable that renowned descender Nibali didn't seem to be attacking hard on that one? General reputation of southern Spanish roads or had recon told him it was a bit dodgy?
No, it was a Katusha rider that was pushed.
