Thanks for the help. I'll try to stay with this, but have to leave for work soon.

I've never seen a race stopped for a crash. But this situation with the two crashes was different. I don't think it was just a courtesy for the yellow jersey.

I don't think they even stopped when Fabio Casartelli was killed in the mountains. ...not sure.

The stop was because emergency vehicles couldn’t get through. Glad to see them back on the road, but darn shame about Cancellara. I don’t think he’ll continue after today.
