Remco doesn't need a team to attack in the mountains.

His team cannot approach the Tour as if Remco were at least the second favorite to win it. We have to be realistic, and what Remco needs to do is minimize losses to the top two. Until he proves he's the second contender for the Tour, it's normal for Soudal or another team not to put seven riders at his disposal.
