The problem is that Farrar is JV's Golden boy (american team, american sponsor). Thor isn't allowed to go for green. Strange decision since both the course for this years tour (not that many flat sprints) and the new intermediate sprint system favours Thor more than pure sprinters like Cav and Farrar.
And today we'll see the World Champion in the yellow jersey doing lead out for Farrar. If Farrar wins it will look great. If he doesn't JV looks like an idiot.
Outside another stagewin or two with Farrar or Hushovd, the only thing Garmin has a chance of winning is Hushovd in the green jersey. Stupid not to go for it.
