I don't really get what AG2R is doing. Using your team in a situation like this only makes sense if you are really drilling it but right now I think the pace would be higher if they would simply let sky work.

TV exposure is important.
That's not a problem at all for Bardet and AG2R.

Bardet is left with only 1 teammate and 6.5K to go, but they are dropping Aru.

I'm shocked that Contador is hanging with the yellow jersey group after his effort yesterday and now he is attacking :)
