Phil and Paul were talking about the GC leaders being benefited by having a teammate along with them on the big climbs--such as Froome having Porte, Quintana having Valverde, Van Garderen having Samuel Sanchez, etc.
I assume it's for pace making purposes but can't Teejay Van Garderen just use one of the leaders in front of him as a pace maker? Why would he need Samuel Sanchez specifically?
