2013 Pro-cycling season thread

I know Sky want to protect Froome for the TT tomorrow, get him home with the other leaders so he doesn't lose anytime, but I feel sometimes they should send someone away in the breaks that form so they aren't the ones who have to do all the work controlling the peloton.
Maybe being slightly more adventurous with their rider resources would pay them back in terms of energy not expended, as other teams have to come to the fore.

In this instance they had the leader's jersey so the responsibility of controlling the break falls on their shoulders alone. The other teams would be less than impressed if a Sky rider got in the break and then sat on.
