I think the only way they could resolve satisfactorily internally, was to go down the route of the old cliche and let the road decide. At the moment the momentum is very much with Vingegaard but there are still two GC days left, so it could change still.

I think thats a cop out from the leadership. Either state clearly the seniority in the team - Rog is plan a, vingo backup and Sepp is the domestique and ride to that. Or, accept the strength of the team's position and support the jersey supported by Rog then Vin (whichever order). Either position holds unless/until someone cracks.

From a team pov they have the opportunity to show how strong they are by not only winning all 3 gts, but also doing it with 3 different riders. Unprecedented and unprecedented strength in depth. And to show what a great team they are to ride for. Everyone will ride for each other and being a super domestique can be rewarded with palmares as well as £.
Instead they pretend not to have been able to hear Kuss or see the coverage and pander to the stars' egos by insisting it's all mano a mano.
They could have won hearts and minds, now everyone thinks they're cold and heartless.
