Yes, the gods were smiling on Nairo yesterday. Mollema, Porte and Froome would have taken more time out of him. Yates apparently had attacked before the crash and was taking time from him before he was held up by that pile up. Quintana then hung off a bike to get through that bottleneck and despite losing a further 7 seconds to Yates in the last kn he was given the same finishing time, which meant he then leap-frogged Mollema in the overall.

Me too.
Until I saw Quintana hanging on to a motorbike, and then saw the photo showing the seat stay broken by the other moto having ridden over Froome's bike.
Once I saw those things, I felt that the times of that incident were the most fair thing to do.
I think we're as good as we're going to get now, and the commissaires did a pretty good job making that decision as quickly as they did.
