XG's tactics are doing Leakygas a favour.
Dude, they have to.

If they didn't do anything, Liquigas would let the lead group go -> no boni seconds.
They have no choice

Boni seconds may or may not be worth it. Over 30, but under 50 is a narrow margin.
Soon as they get close, other riders fire off the front.
Hard choice.

If Nieve gets 2mins up the road its curtains for Mosquera. C'mon Nieve!
I don't think it will be that easy for Nieve/Txurruka this time. Saxo keeps making tempo

Fernandez from Xacobeo attacks.
Not sure what good that's going to do, unless it somehow helps make Liquigas nervous. I'd rather keep as many teammates as possible to chase any breaks after the climb, or have them pulling from the peloton to make the climb harder.
