    I don't think Froome will ever win the Tour. The assumption that Wiggins will be his minion next July does not make sense to me.

    Eh? Froome could have won it this year if he'd ignored his DS and rode for himself.

    He's got the tactical sense of a week old jelly, so if he ignored the DS he would've failed.
    Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.

    I'm getting deja vu, Bill Murray's going to appear any minute now.

    If he'd taken the opportunities to attack when he was told to wait then I think we'd have seen a different result. I know this has been argued to death and I didn't mean to start that again, so I'll shush.

    What a great interview! It's great to see such straightforward comments as: "It's all very well Lance standing up and hearing these stories of him punching the seats on the bus and saying 'we're going to kick a***' and do this and that. That's all very well and good when you've got 10 litres of someone else's blood running through your body."

    "From now on it's just trying to achieve other things - things that I hold close to my heart like Paris-Roubaix, the Giro d'Italia or maybe even trying to win the Tour again."

    Well that clears things up then

    If I had to guess he'll go for whichever Contador isn't
