It's fair to say that some teams have got a bigger incentive than others to ride in a train at the front. Astana will want to keep Nibali safe at the front today and the safest way to do that is to get to the head of the peloton.
If it was a flat stage, we'd probably see Giant and Lotto doing the same.
I wouldn't say there are teams that are better at it, it's more a case of them doing it when conditions suit.
Having said that, Europcar did have problems with their organisation the otherr day when Kevin Reza executed a great leadout for nobody.
