It's hard to tell much from the video, so we'll have to wait maybe until tomorrow to find out... I just saw some Twitter comments and it appears Riis suggested that Contador's brake hood got caught in Karpets' saddle (Karpets is ~5.5 inches taller).
The car was apparently one with VIPs from France TV. Should have hit the brakes instead of veering into the riders. Almost took Voeckler out, too.
Update: VeloNews quotes both Karpets and Contador -- it was an accident.
