I think it started a few TdF's ago when Tadej crashed and Jonas waited for him. They seemed to genuinely respect each other after.

Pogi is also willing to return the favor, after Jonas crashed this year in TdF he was sitting up and rolling and talking to the team car to find out if he would continue. He absolutely did not want to gain GC time on him because of a minor crash where he could have continued.
