Watch the coverage. The response to Mayo's accident was extremely
slow. Even after remounting, he was slow in getting going
(compare/contrast LA's reaction after falling last year) and had no
teammates for a LONG time come back to help him.

I guess there's some difference between falling while climbing at 15 km/h or in a peloton at full speed at + 50 km/h.

Well last year both Armstrong and Mayo went down together
http://www.cyclingnews.com/tour.php?id=photos/2003/tour03/stage15/tdf2003-armstrong-mayo-u-67
and got both up quickly again. I think it was even Mayo who then
attacked first, countered by Armstrong.

He was talking about the 2nd stage crash last year when Lance was off the
bike and going again like a rocket. None of the posties could keep up with
him until he got back into the pack.

Too bad about Mayo.

Wasn't that in the last Km (therefore no time penalty)?.

Maybe you mean the stage the year before (or before that, I
can't remember) when the Swiss guy (Bertognali?) won and
Armstrong crashed a few Km before the finish. It was quite
something to see USPS doing a TTT from above to get
Armstrong back. Except Armstrong was in the front and
dropping his guys all over the place - quite impressive, and
a foreshadowing of the "adrenaline effect" on Armstrong
demonstrated last year after his crash.

On Rubiera's bike, no less.
