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

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.
Why would Astana have little chance of the stage win? They've got the numbers in the group. Didn't they win from a very similar scenario in the Dauphine?

Fuglsang didn't take pulls back then so he was able to squeak a sprint there.
If he can do it here after all this pulling, he's having the day of his career.
