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

Of course they have something to lose- points and seconds. They obviously
feel they'd rather put their money on the TT and last stage, rather then
weaken their teams by controlling the break and have less energy to lead out
their stars in the bunch sprint. Remember, it would be Zabel against a fresh
McGee and Cook, or McEwen and his leadout. Or Ullrich against
Hincapie/Eki/Armstrong.

Jan has nothing to lose and Erik, too. And both do not need help of
their team in sprints - they need the help only to get there.
