Anyone seen an explanation of what actually happened ? It looked like it was on a straight bit of dry road. Why the huge pile up ?
Probably similar to a lot of the crashes on straight roads yesterday, someone touches wheels or clips a handlebar.
From what I recall of the live coverage after todays mass
chute, the wind direction had changed to tail/crosswind, and the pace was being ramped up, so cue general desperation to get as far up the peloton as possible.
HTC were definitely on the ball today, having the full squad available in what was left of the peloton for a perfect run into town and lead-out.
Edit: The joys of live transmission, no time to bleep out Cav's succinct initial response to the news about Wiggo, which was duly expurgated in the highlights.
