On today's stage (Pforzheim - Gérardmer) with only a Cat 2 climb, Lance was forced to chase down attackers on the final climb.
This is very disconcerting. Firstly, his team should have been there motoring at the front so no one can attack. Secondly, a team mate should have been marking the attacks not Lance. He is wasting precious energy by chasing after multiple attacks.
Finally, if his team cannot protect him on a relatively easy climbing stage, what happens the rest of the Tour?
