It is your understanding that in a race when you can attack and know you can gain time, you should "stop yourself" because you know you are in control?
It is also your understanding that if you know you can gain time over everyone in the race you should not do it because you are "in control"?
Dont listen to commentary as fact or gospel. They are there to entertain the viewer.
When you know you can gain time, even just a second in a race, you should gain time.
Is the Tour based on how much time you dont need to attack because you are in control these days rather than accumulated time?
Thats a news flash to me.
