No, they're all three supposed to keep tempo like they had been for the last 18 km of the climb. Like race leaders traditionally do when another leader has a mechanical problem.

Nobody is saying he should have stopped, but he went on an all out sprinting attack after Schleck dropped his chain.
That is straight up dirty.
