From the team's perspective, Pogacar's overall victory is the final goal, so
even if they don't bring the yellow jersey when they're 11 seconds down to Jonas, it's better to minimize the time gap
1st Pogacar, 2nd Deltoro, 3rd Remco, etc.
Jonas coming in after that (that way he can't get bonus time) is the best for the team, right?
I thought Pogacar-Deltoro would come in that order at the end, but I was surprised.
(It's not even when the GC standings are decided at the end of the stage, but making such a decision at the very beginning..)
Of course, it has charm and looks good
The team's or Pogacar's judgment, thinking they're confident even if they go later
is impressive.
In a way, it certainly creates the fun of watching.
