There is.
Although there's no denying the skill differential in descending, there is a great deal more potential for just bad luck when you're descending a mountain at 40mph+ on bicycle, than if you are climbing.
I still think fair enough that Nibali attacked at that point, but I can't help but think that it's a slightly less satisfying way for Kruijkwijk to lose pink. But, cycling's not fair so sod it.
