That was Nibali that fell behind CF. The fall surely spooked him a little, because he is well known as a fearless downhiller who takes lots of risks. The Spaniard was on fire today, and was not going to be denied! Nibali should have finished no further than 2nd!

(And it looked like CF just barely touched his front brake crossing the paint line yesterday, causing him to hit the deck. He was lucky, so was Nibali!)
