So here's why some of the Disco boys did not react to the break and lost time. "Alberto Contador and myself were well positioned in the downhill preceding the difficult finish in town, he explained. But a Française des Jeux rider crashed (actually, it was Ag2r's Samuel Dumoulin - ed.) in front of us. We got stacked behind and we could never see the front of the bunch; that's how we missed the split." Tom Danielson quoted in cyclingnews.com
