If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.

Is TV coverage actually showing the crash? The online feed is completely disconnected from their commentary.

There's a shot of Porte faceplanting into a camera and then a pile up. Froome's bike got run over by a following motorbike, he tried to carry his bike for a little before leaving it leaning on a second motorbike and jogging off ahead.

I have to assume that the anything that happened after the crash can't count, but is it possible that Froome could be punished for abadoning his bike?

It's possible because of the regs, depends on how saucy the commissionaires are feeling I guess. It'll probably be overlooked because of the circumstances, though.

If he threw away his bike because he dropped a chain then i could see their reasoning.

He's panicked before so wouldn't be surprised if he didn't try to fix it.

The commissaires are trying to see if they can award the gap when they crashed like with Yates

They will do what will cause the least embarrassment for the tour here. And having the 3 leaders crash because of a moto and lose the yellow jersey is not what they want to broadcast.
