Team Sky directeur sportif Dave Brailsford has refused to rule out taking legal action following the crash which brought down Juan Antonio Flecha on Sunday's Stage 9.
Team Sky rider Flecha was part of a five-man break on Stage 9 when he was brought down by a France Televisions car. Flecha and Johnny Hoogerland, who was sent flying into a barbed wire fence in the incident, both finished the stage.
But the incident completed a miserable four days for the Sky team, whose leader Bradley Wiggins crashed out with a broken collarbone on Friday.
Speaking at Team Sky's hotel on Monday's rest day, Brailsford said: "It was plain for everyone to see – that crash shouldn't have happened. Everybody saw it, everyone saw the severity of it so I don't think we need to fan the flames of that anymore.
"Once you've got the facts then you can decide and evaluate whether there's an opportunity for the police to do something. There are different options available, but [we'll wait] until we've got the facts and got the lawyers to say 'you could do this', 'Team Sky could do that', 'Juan as an individual might want to do that'.
"We need to have a clear picture of what those options are before we then decide which one we may or may not wish to pursue. We're jumping ahead of ourselves if we start talking about options – we've got to determine what they are first."
It remains to be seen if Flecha or Hoogerland will be fit to continue the race when it resumes on Tuesday - Hoogerland refused to apportion blame for the accident when interviewed soon after Sunday's stage.
