I figured it was the guy who has the yellow jersey last?

Yes. Least time.

And why are these analysts talking about a racer being too aggressive with the leader guy and "going after him?" 

Said there are unwritten rules. 
didn't watch today, but on the previous stage before rest day Aru (second) attacked (accelerated) Froome when Froome had a mechanical issue. Some take issue with that (unwritten rules), some say it's part of the game. That might be what they're referring to, unless there's something I missed today but I highly doubt Aru would try anything on a stage like today's.

Yeah that's what they were talking about.

What's wrong with accelerating when the guy ahead of you has an issue?

And what does "try something" mean?

I truly have no clue what goes on in a bike race. I feel like it should be the most straight forward event...ever
