Andy Schleck has criticised race organisers for the dangerous descent into Gap on Stage 16 after he lost more than a minute to GC rival Cadel Evans.

"Is this really what people want to see?" Schleck asked soon after the stage won by Thor Hushovd. "I think the parcours was really badly chosen today. We don't want to see riders crashing or riders taking risks. Everybody has family at home, and finishes like this should not be allowed."
