Bears, don't you think Tadej intentionally lead out Van der Poel knowing that he was not going to win. He did it because of the mutual respect and because they had worked so hard together to get that close to the line with a shriking gap? Team loyalty, policy, and the unspoken "rules of the game" will likely prevent any overt statements to be made.

Seems so. He also sacrificed for Del Torro.....

[955i]

Yes he did. But, Del Torro was a UAE teammate. Also, he didn't sacrifice for him on Stage 21. The final placements on GC and Young Rider were already set.
