    If only Nico could deploy this media cloak of invisibility to some sort of tactical effect...

    Betencur on the other hand lost 12 minutes and had to go to hospital

    Did you see Nicolas Roche havea real go at a guy by the road who pushed Betencur up the hill (when only Betencur, Tejay, Contador, Froome and 2 from the breal left and Nico...even Chaves was dropped at that stage) :D

    He came down with Tejay by all accounts......

    I presume it is this clip that Nico was giving out about

    That is not the clip...The one Nico reacted to was near the top of the final climb when only 5/6 GC guys left

    And it was a Movistar staffer pushing Betencur...looks like he was doing it in your clip as well

    But anyway Betencur is out of the Vuelta with facial injuries from his crash with TJ

    What took TJ off there??? Still confused about that one, there were Astana and AG2R riders down at that same spot sat at the side of the road when that happened. Betencur did land badly there but they'll likely still look for the swiss francs for the push later on.

    It seems that Tejay hit some rough surface on the road and his hands came off the handlebars..

    I think that was the second excursion at the roundabouts......I just think he got distracted coming through all the cars

    Distracted is probably not the right word to use but close enough
