Weird Alaphilippe and Lutsenko keep pushing on alone, when over 5 minutes in front of the peloton, I don't understand why they don't just drop back to the big group.

For a random person maybe, but when you are working together day after day, all year, Danish and Norwegian is 95 % the same language, so shouldn't be a problem to understand each other.
Written out it might be 95% the same. But spoken a Danish speaker without any training in Norwegian won’t pick up 50% of a conversation in Norwegian.

It’s simply much more efficient to do it all in the language that everyone can speak on a 6/10 level or better than to use a language where some in the team are at a 4/10 level.

Alaphilippe seems to spend his energy a bit wrong again today.

Alaphilippe knows he doesn't have a hope in hell of winning a stage with his current legs and is just wh*ring for camera attention, as he's done all Tour. Lutsenko is probably in the same boat today.
