There's waiting and there's actually waiting.
If there's an attack over the summit of a climb and Froome has a mechanical, waiting may mean just taking it easy on the descent and pootling on the next one until he gets back on. At that point, domestiques have regrouped and while he's burnt from getting back to them, they're fresh to launch a relentless series of attacks. That sort of thing.
It's unlikely but if it happens, they're going to hit him as hard as they can. 1 second is all they need by the close of play on Saturday.

Riders are meant to wait for the race leader if they have a mechanical (unless you name is nibali)
