Could someone explain to me why the Schlecks decided to help Evans up l'Alpe d'Huez? Are they afraid Contador will smash the field in the TT by 5 minutes? Their tactics didn't make any sense to me. Then asking Evans to pace the Schlecks up the climb? It seemed idiotic. I could understand under all that riding, to make a mental error or two in decision making... but their DS was telling them to do it over the radio as well.
Previous to that, Andy didn't seem to help at all on the Galibier, when he could have assisted Contador in putting Evans out of the race.
