It was Salvatore Puccio.
It was a racing incident, he checked behind him briefly, and whilst his head was turned, the riders to his right moved across him.
You can’t go round witch-hunting every time there is a crash, they are part and parcel of the day to day life of the peloton.
Anyway, that wasn’t the crash that caused Dumoulin’s injuries. He crashed again, along with Yates and Landa, shortly afterwards on a roundabout, but the tv cameras didn’t capture it because the race was split into lots of groups.

Dumoulin seems to be saying it's the Puccio crash on cycling news?
In a team press release, Dumoulin explained how the crash had happened, saying that "[Salvatore] Puccio crashed. I think he touched a wheel or something and he took me and [Ion] Izagirre [Astana] down with him".

Dunbar ? Peloton has been remarkably quiet about it considering he started the crash that bought a lot of people down.
