I mean look at BMC, they've got a budget similar to Sky's, have Van Avermaet and a host of quality riders, like Roelandts, Kung, Drucker etc., but they waste the lieutenants by getting them to ride tempo on the front of the bunch. If they got one of those guys up the road, they'd have tactical possibilities, but instead their defensive tactics mean they end up all in for Van Avermaet and he's too closely marked to get a result.
