I'm not a big Sky supporter so perhaps I see it differently, but the moto was on the extreme left of the road and clearly visible for riders to go around. I don't see how it is any different from any other object/person/obstacle in this instance-the way people are talking it's like he was sat in the middle of the road taking a selfie on a blind corner.
By all means blame the Giant rider who clipped the moto and then went into Thomas which is pretty shit luck to whomever it happens, but to blame the moto itself seems pretty tenuous given the nature of the sport and it's taking away from a comprehensive victory by Quintana.
