None of the teams have really brought, or are using, a full train to try and compete with HTC; most have 2 or 3 at most before their sprinter, so the battle is all happening in the final K, by which time HTC are in full control.
Sky, for instance, for most of the Tour have just had Thomas and EBH, so Thomas is having to do so much more work than Renshaw to position his sprinter. He's basically drag racing Goss and then Renshaw. Same goes for Hondo.
HTC are the only team at the moment willing to throw their whole team at it. Manpower wins.
