Year after year after year other teams run over each other to be the first to help Froome....why?

Because they aren't unhinged crackpots and their priority is to race for themselves and not, as many here seem to believe, against Sky?

So the riders with Froome should just let Bardet go and give up on any chance for a stage win themselves?

The riders should let the top favorite tire himself out, so they have a chance of actually winning the race.

Because year after year after year other teams run over each other to get podium places and stage wins

They already are on the podium even if Bardet stays away, and they have little chance of a stage win.
They have almost nothing to gain and are throwing away a better chance at the GC.
