Saxo trying to save team GC? Wouldn't protecting 2nd in GC be much better?
many seem to forget the meaning of pro cycling from a managers & team perspective.
They have 2 and 4 and 8.. come on what could they use it for..(the riders can use it, but not partically valued from a teamview)
actually nothing they are here to win, like they did 2008 & 2010 and in 2011 60 % of the saxo team was slaughted by the 2 Danish directors & saxo pr-chief Kim Andersen & Brian Nygaard when the created Leopard and took Scleck, fuglsang and Cancellara and the almost the hole saxo crew to lepard
But everyone seem to forget the point of pro cycling (sponsor time) and sofare STB the team that got most positive sponsor time of all the teams this tour (from taking initiative and breaking froome on flat, and taking the pace against peloton.
so try to look at it from a bigger perspective, its all about positive sponsortime (check some of the sites, that calculate these values) Sky hate all there negative feedback, sky's not here to ejaculate Froome's ego, but to put there sky name out there in a positive manor.
so Again, its about positive sponsortime, not about the win, when you look at it from a team & sponsorperspective.
Saxo got huge feedback and has been the positive-talk of the town this tour, and also why there sponsors these days, are agruing about WHO can get first name next year. (tinkoff tought they should, but saxo now also want more years.. )
so 2 or 4 or 8 aint something to fav partically, a team contest, is better and get on the podium as the best TDF team like they done numerous times before.
so look at it in a bigger perspective if you try to make sense of it from a team-perspective and understand there intention..
Vinorow (Astan mana) point out beautifuly, when he said a couple of days ago ' that he would much more want a stagewin from Fuglsang then Fuglsang in top 5.
