Apparently there are lowest number of debutants in this Tour for 20 years, only 33 (lifted offa Twitter) so you can't put this down to inexperience. The irony is is everyone wants to be at the front to avoid the crashes and this creates the crashes. There are always bad crashes in the first week as well: everyone's fresh and the pace gets high, a lot of jerseys up for grabs
