You might be onto something there.
Hmm. Look at the comparative palmares of the Sky domestiques versus the Movistar domestiques. Sky are a lot stronger than Movistar, most of the Sky team could be team leaders elsewhere.

Undeniable, and Sky know this because they know they can win the race on their own efforts. Though it does mean the other teams can sit back and rely on them to do all the work, then pounce later. Quintana definitely looks like he's capitalising on Sky's work. He'd better get a shift on and make his move, though, because he can't time trial like Froome and he's going to need some serious gains on the hills to offset that.

I've been wondering why Q's domestiques have been dropping off early compared to the Sky train. You might be onto something there.
