There’s an unwritten rule that the responsibility of controlling the race falls on the team with the leader’s jersey. You can choose to ignore that rule, but it’s frowned upon by other teams and might mean that when you’re looking for help at a later date, none is forthcoming.

If it burns your team out, just let it go and win it back
Winning it back probably not as easy as it sounds.

I never get this “need to defend the jersey” thing. Surely if it’s a hinderance to keep it then let it go to someone harmless? It strikes me it’s just received wisdom and what’s expected, not a winning tactic. Like Roglic (I think) said, the only important place to have the jersey is the end. If it burns your team out, just let it go and win it back.
