Default Why don't Bianchi and Telekom ride for their stars?

True you can make up points and seconds in mass sprints, but you can also
lose them. And if your team does all the work, then you weaken yourself when
it comes time to sprint against your opponents. There's a good chance you
could end up hurting rather than helping your cause.


"Sven Mischkies" a écrit dans le message news:
...
Jan needs every second he can get - so wouldn't it be sensible for his
team to try to let flat stages end in mass sprints?

Erik needs every point he can get for the green jersey, even if he says
he doesn't care about it - so wouldn't it be sensible for his team to
try to let flat stages end in mass sprints?

Both teams have nothing to lose anymore. Bianchi anyway, Telekom's
Vinokurov should be save as third, too.

So can anyone here explain why these teams do nothing?


Ciao,
SM
