[QUOTE="Tony Manx, post: 808774, member: 50236"] Yes! That is what they are paid so well to do..... The teams have one guy as their big hope whether for the GC or green jersey and the domestiques job is to make sure they have the best chance. When they have two guys say Wiggins and Cavendish, going for different jerseys, that is when one of them suffers as Cavendish did. My understanding is that the leaders of the teams are on huge salaries (5+million) whereas the domestiques are on substantially less - but still often big bucks. But the prize money won by the winner is usually spread out amongst the team. Kind of an incentive to work hard for him? Evidenced when Froome himself broke clear on a mountain stage, and heading for the GC lead, was ordered to slow and wait for his team mate Wiggins who was in the GC lead but in trouble. Wiggins went on to win when many thought Froome was the better rider! [/QUOTE]
