It was in fact Tyler Hamilton, Armstrongs friend and former teammate, who gestured to Ullrich and the others to slow down, but I think Ullrich would have done so anyway.
It is an unspoken "rule" that if the yellow jersey is in trouble I.E. goes down or having mechanical problems, none attacks at least temporarily, and so it should be out of respect for the one who wear it.
Anyway, it's good to see that kind of sportsmanship and fairness in an otherwise cynical world.
