Sometimes the Commissaires are really stupid. Carlos crashed was severely injured that he could not compete against the rivals. Yet they think he had an advantage in drafting when he was coming back to the peloton but nor gaining time over the peloton

He crashed because of his own riding. Not a case where the commissars wold look the other direction to catch up. He SHOULD have bee dQ'ed from the race, especially after the on-course officials TOLD them to stop drafting. What he did was cheat. period.
