Didn't Nibali get dropped after he made it back to the peloton?

Is there any good footage of the actual crash? Because I have a hunch that him blaming Ewan for the crash has as much merit as that time during this year's Tour when he blamed Froome for crashing into him.

Only footage I saw yesterday was from a helicopter and you couldn't really tell what happened. Just saw everyone start to fall like dominoes.

Ewan was at the back of the peloton and people crashed in front of him.

Has to be really frustrating. Remember his classics campaign came to an abrupt end as well. Hell, I get frustrated when I miss a ride because I overslept and that's entirely my fault.

I thought if you drop out of a race you are ineligible to race again until it finishes.

Some views of Spain are very scenic. Others not so much. I get a kick out of the Universal Sports guys ripping on the camera feeds from time to time. You'd think if some Spanish tourism board is controlling the feed they would want to cut down on the "here's some miles of brown fields" views.

It feels like Eurosport have tripled the number of ad breaks for the Vuelta. Every year I get excited for this race then struggle to be particularly interested when it's actually happening.
