OK, I am going to take the contrary view from most everyone else, I think Adam Yates should be in yellow and Froome should be disqualified.
Spectators, whether good or idiots, have been lining the roads of this race for 113 years. This is not new. Porte, Froome and the other fellow had bad luck. If Porte had rolled his tire, went down, taking with him Froome and the other fellow, I see no difference. It is a part of the race. Someone kidney-punched Merckx, he "should" have won the race. I don't see him whining about it (see how I brought it back on topic
).
I agree with you - it's just bad luck & timing. Porte had bad luck earlier.
DQ Froome for running & advancing w/o his bicycle.
