Half of you are saying that andy was dropping alberto until the chain fell off and then alberto took advantage.

Honestly, I did NOT see this happening. Sure andy took off fast but after a few seconds alberto took off after him and he was catching up to him BEFORE his chain fell off. It was Menchov and Sanchez who were setting the pace up the hill yet andy DIDN'T catch back up to the pace set by those 2. It wasn't alberto setting off solo. The the 3 leaders took off on the descent and took MORE time out of andy on the descent then they did on the climb.

Sure it was an unfortunate incident but I just CAN'T see it as being something terrible that alberto did. As others have said, andy has been the beneficiary of a couple gifts from the peleton but this cant happen ALL the time.
