casar in stage 02

[Bounty Bob]

So we saw Casar crawling in around 4 minutes behind the group
after what cycling news said was a mechanical but seemed like
a fall? Everywhere seems to have him as being at the 5 seconds
so was it a fall inside the 3km? Or do you get the pack time
for a mechanical inside 3km as well?

According to Sporza his fall was caused by a drunken spectator.
After that the guy also wanted to hit Marc Madiot, meanwhile
some other spectators were trying to steal Casars wheels.

It's a disgrace. After the race, Dutch TV was complimenting the spectators,
but they didn't know about this or chose to ignore it.
