Pavel Brutt is my new hero, he has put out massive efforts day after day in the break and keeps charging.

Is this simply a case of no team leader so lets get as much exposure as we can or do they hope for that off chance that a break might stay and they will see a day in the Maglia Rosa? It just seems like a ton of waisted energy with such a hard race ahead of them. They are still in the flat stages and the guys are going to be toasted.
