Hardly the point of a protest. As soon as there is a gap then technically there is a time difference and it all gets split up. In the tour there is a tradition of respect for the wearer of the yellow jersey and he basically called it. I for one like the dignity of that tradition. Besides, the only thing anyone would have done is to close the gap on Chavanel, who isn't a big GC contender. Utlimately it benefits the real contenders who have a couple of days to play tactics on each other while the sprinters do their thing before one of them ends up taking the lead.
Good ride Chavanel, good call Cancellara.
