Froomedog got a mention on Radio 1 in their 'News and Sports Summary'. Apparently he's continued his fantastic form from the Tour and the Olympic TT and has moved into second overall at the Tour of Spain. Incisive stuff.
Little sympathy for Valverde: you can't stop for every crash, particularly when you've just started to put the hammer down and there's a breakaway 3 minutes down the road. I don't know the time differences for the breakaway but I'm guessing if Martin or Clarke had got 3 or more minutes they might have been in red? I think Movistar's objections come from thinking Sky caused the crash then took advantage of it, a murky accusation at best. I wonder who the peloton will react, Movistar will certainly give them no quarter and they might get a hard time from the crowd too.
