Why did the Dutch CHASE THEIR OWN TEAMMATE?! European Championships

Analysing the Women's road race from the 2019 European Championships. The Netherlands had a stacked team which included Lucinda Brand and Marianne Vos. They decided to begin chasing the breakaway despite that breakaway having a teammate of theirs in it, being Amy Pieters.

In this video I analyse why they adopted this seemingly strange strategy and explain why it was actually optimal. I also break down the finale as usual.
