Should the Tour de France have waited for Tadej Pogačar after his stage 11 crash?

Tadej Pogačar.

Did the Tour de France peloton do the right thing? Should they have waited for Tadej Pogačar when he crashed with six kilometres remaining of stage 11?

After clipping the back wheel of Uno-X Mobility’s Tobias Halland Johanssen with under 4km to go, Pogačar lost control of his bike and fell to the ground. He was able to remount his chain and get back riding relatively quickly, but he found himself 22 seconds behind the peloton that included his GC rivals Jonas Vingegaard and Remco Evenepoel.
