Was that "protest" at the end of today's stage (led by Cancellara) legit or was it a load of BS and the riders were throwing a little hissy fit? It makes Cancellara come off particularly bad, IMO. He loses the yellow jersey to Chavanel, who deserved to win today, so he insists that the rest of the riders protest the TdF organizers because of the numerous crashes? What are they complaining about, the rain??
Am I missing something here?
