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.
