As I am watching this stage I am curious why WVA and JV do not both swing left and have the group move up to do some of the work. I saw that JV tried it but everyone followed him, and I understand the reason they did. Wouldn’t it be beneficial for them both to drop to the back of the group to save energy or is that one of the unspoken rules, if you have a team you do the work

Edit: right now u have about 9k left in race and this has been great.
