200 IQ move by Rabo.
Send your best climbing domestiques in a breakaway the day before a MTF, let them work and sprint for KOM points. Then they can't follow the best on the final ascent and still work on the descent/flat and rolling terrain later on when there are clearly faster guys in the same group and ahead on the road. If they were on the road to help Roglc durning a potential long range attack ok, but he didn't even try to something on the final climb and they did too much work in the breakaway when they weren't really benefiting from it.
I don't get it.
