But that's what I'm saying.
Sanchez -or someone else, but probably Sanchez - will be the "main man", while Tejay will "freeload" in order to attempt to stick with the favourites as long as possible. Both for the tactical advantages - if he's "up there" in the GC he could be sent on the attack, thus forcing the other teams to react - and in order to simply have someone with Sanchez in the finales.
Of course if it turns out he can't stay with the favourites, or if the team simply needs him to sacrifice himself, he'll be downgraded to a more generic domestique role.
So, basically the structure could be something like this:
Sanchez: The Protected Rider. The rider everyone is, well, riding for. If need be everyone will sacrifice themselves for him.
Tejay: The Free Rider. The rider who will be allowed to simply ride along with the group without pulling and/or getting bottles. Expected to hang on to the favourite-group for as long as possible, but if he's dropped earlier on: Bad luck! Nobody's gonna get sent down to help him. Will be expected to sacrifice himself if need be, even if he's actually sitting in the top-10 at the time.
