From the look of Tyler's posture in the video, I'd say he rubbed the wheel in front of him and that's what caused him to lean right. It may have been the fault of the rider in front moving left and Tyler not watching his wheel. --A bad thing in close quarters.
22k from the finish and another crash. Tyler down again ...Tom Danielson out. I hate seeing this many wrecks.

Just watched the slow-mo replay of the crash (we were watching the semis at Wimbledon) and it looks like what happened is that Farrar was trying to move up through an open space when Petacchi moved right. Farrar had to either put on his brakes or lean right (into Veelers) so he leaned. Veelers stayed with his lead out train and moved forward leaving Farrar with nothing to lean on.
The most incredible thing about the crash was Greipel’s escape. He actually pushed off of Farrar, released both his pedals, and somehow managed to not just remain upright, but win the stage. Phenomenal!
