It's somewhat possible:
Let each rider protect one another until the leader. So let's take Sky, with
Froome (83), Landa (81), Thomas (79), Poels (78), Intxausti (77) Kiriyenka (76), Kennaugh (76), Knees (72) and Stannard (63). You can then protect Knees with Stannard. Knees in line protects Kennaugh, Kennaugh protects Kiriyenka. Do this all the way up to Froome, who can then ''dot'' up the climb.

Ok perfect, but a the first of train i must put "pull the group" or a Froome in this example this "->"?
I'd recommend two things:
1. If you're using this train don't use the dot on the flat roads, but rather wait for the climb.
2. If it's before the final climb (like in this case the Port de Pailhères before Ax-3-Domaines) I'd recommend saving a guy for drinks (which I didn't do here, only reason I ran this stage was to show how it works). Otherwise, sending back just one guy could already disband your train. This is due to the fact that, as soon as a rider protects a rider who's already protecting someone else, the rider who will now be protected won't protect anyone else anymore (that's why it's essential to set up the order of protection in order of the train, so in this case first Stannard protects Knees, then Knees protects Kiriyenka, and not in any different order).
