Judging Nairo Quintana on the basis of a 1 second clip with no context is ridiculous. Maybe the bike slowed right in front of him and he put his hand up to avoid a crash and steady himself? Maybe he was using it to get going again, just as Porte was getting a push in front from a spectator to regain momentum? Do you really think one of the best climbers in the world was just taking a tow up Ventoux? I think it is fair to say it wouldn't have happened without the ridiculous farce unfolding all around.
