It may well be that over the next couple of weeks his team exhaust themselves in defending; at this stage in the race no-one is going to settle for a placing, so allies in other teams are going to be few and far between.
Sprinter's stage today....

That's my concern too,whether the team have enough depth to defend the Pink.Doumolin is playing it canny as is Froome IMO.
