It looked to me that LPR Brakes took advantage of the crash.
When they saw that Cavendish was behind due to the crash, they went straight to the front, and put the hammer down for their "asthma patient". Not very classy, boys.

There was a 13 man break ahead of them that included Levi...Liquigas was the first big team to put the pressure on and start to pull the break back. What do you think they should have done, pulled up and let Levi get 1 minute or two on them? I sure didn't see Levi telling everyone to slow down the Pink jersey is caught up in a crash. I don't think LPR did anything underhanded at all
