What Are They Up To? TdF26-61

It is beyond me why Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) has his team chasing on the front. Seriously, why are Felix Grosschartner, Brandon McNulty, Adam Yates and Isaac Del Toro buring energy on chasing down a breakaway when the best placed member is almost ten minutes behind him? Is he setting himself or one of his teammates up for a stage win? Or perhaps he wants his team to take over the lead in the team competition. I guess the critics while begin complaining that the team is too greedy again. Just in case Pogacar makes a move, Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) is keeping close to his main rival. All of the other GC guys are in this group, just out of my sight for this painting. The peloton has all of the leaders' jerseys, including the Maillot Jaune, the Maillot Blanc, and the Maillot a Pois that we can see now. But Mads Pedersen in his Maillot Vert is the only sprinter still in the peloton. Admittedly, he has been dangling a bit everytime the road goes up.
