I predict a similar scenario to the Tour where the punchier rider (Tadej/Remco) will be attempting to squeeze out every advantage he can on stages like this, knowing that the big mountains are going to favor Jonas.
In that case, a bad tactical move considering what was coming. This is his best chance to steal time and/or deny the bonus seconds to other GC guys.
LR podcast (just listened to) said the same thing but that they were still surprised that he didn't get past JA for 3rd.
