Martin isn't a threat but he's an admirable racer and his approach to riding to "competitive" GC placings always adds a nice extra bit of flavour to races.
I'm of a mind that he's already decided not to complete the race so why compete for the jersey
Bit odd for VDP not to just get himself in 2nd in that sprint. Might not mean much but might aswell get yourself some extra points incase or dnfs and you might luck into the jersey.
