The racing definitely was on, Barguill and Aru were in a group a minute back, the race having been split in the cross winds.
I think Fretz is spot on, Movistar were daft not to take advantage of an error of judgement on Froome's behalf.

By the same 'race is on and anything that happens after is tough tits' logic does that not mean that after Froome attacked Quintana and ended up with no domestiques or team car as a result, then had a broken bike, that it's just 'des nichons dur' for him?

To have attacked an capitalised on that moment would have been poor. It wouldn't have been a way anyone wants to win. Racing was hardly on.
If they had attacked, they would have been called out. Froome would have made it back on any way and they would just be silly.
The peloton chose to stop, because it was the fair thing to do.
Why a journalist with half a page of freedom chose to use it to call froome out, I can only think it's poor click bait from a poor journalist.
