Yeah, but then being able to halt proceedings (to some limited extent, in some conditions) by sticking your arm in the air is a pretty significant advantage in the face of those attacks. If a third place rider was being attacked by a four place one, he wouldn't be able to stop it by needing a 'comfort break'...

Also, I'm pretty sure the form is, if you attack, and then someone has an issue, you are fine to crack on. The big thing here is attacking because someone has an issue. It looked pretty obvious to me that Froome put his hand up and then Aru attacked, not the other way around. Key difference.

This being the key point. If he'd gone before, fair play, he knew exactly what was going on. Obviously reads the Nibali rules of cunning at bedtime.

So during poo-gate, they attacked because tom had his hand down his bibs?
