You're misplacing arrogance with annoyance.
They didn't work to hurt him but at the same time risk their own positions. If they'd have ridden together the top three would've been more likely to remain top three and they could still have another go in a later stage. They were riding negatively, Tommy D is well within his rights to point this out.

Which is why it's arrogant to have a go at your competitors with every journalist who will listen.
It's not about honours. It's tactics. They want him to chase down attacks to wear him out. Why help him in any way and keep him fresher?
Edit to add:
They're not worried about Pinot. They're still after the number one spot. Rightly or wrongly they still see themselves as having a shot. That's a good thing for us.
