Psychological message to his rivals that he is strong, has energy after
100+ miles of hard racing to sprint alongside the sprinter.

"Psychological messages" like they talk about on OLN are overrated.
They don't tend to push the pedals on one's bike.

TRUE.
Lance is not one to have gaps form in front of him.
Think ANY of his rivals do that?
Not.

Maybe it sends a message that he is worried about this tour, since by
sprinting he seems to be trying to grab a few seconds here and there on
the other GC contenders, like he did on Tyler on his last sprint (because
the peloton was split). He must be afraid that he may only win this baby
by seconds...
