I see your point. Perhaps Ineos held more back as a team. Carapaz certainly wasted energy.

But if you don’t attack, you don’t win.
According to the timing, he had a 40s gap at one point. If he managed to maintain it, or the chasers couldn’t close him down, would have been a significant amount of time to get back on an unexpected day.
