Yes, but he wasn't in yellow. I'm not sure what were they supposed to do anyway, since it happened so close to the finish line.

For me the exact reason is irrelevant. When Vino saw the guy in yellow experience bike trouble, he sat up. AC continued to put the hammer down. He can claim he didn't see it all he wants, but even if that's true, he should look more closely next time. Or he'll hear more boos.

To me, that comes with the territory - when you ride in yellow, others respect you. AC didn't.
The point I was trying to make however, was that had AC sat up, he'd gain everyone's respect. As it is, he lost respect of many.
Others may know more though.
