No one with any climbing caliber has had to do any work for the last four days so everyone should have been relatively fresh. Did he not do any pulling on the stage to Chambery. I thought it was a similar team effort with Landa the second sky rider over the line at the end. Must have dropped Froome off close to the top of the climb.

Yesterday was the first time he really had to work at the Tour. Sky are very good at rotating their domestiques, so they aren't overly reliant on one person.
I meant to add, riding for GC is different than going for stage wins, mentally there is much less pressure, so with Landa he is probably mentally fresher than, say, Quintana.
