Not sure what you mean TheDoctor.
Froome comes across as someone who turned up to ride (as opposed to someone who just needs to raise their profile for the chat show circuit) – I like that.
His team mates are on record saying they don’t mind riding all day for him because they know he’ll try and finish the job for the team. That was as I recall Gerant Thomas – and the implication was that they’d deliver him to the last climb and he’d try and take time out of his rivals on it. I wondered if that was Sky saying they did what they had to with a previous champion but watching someone trying not to lose time on climbs and waiting for the TT just wasn’t inspiring.
Oh yes and given the way Wiggins repeatedly snubbed and disrespected Froome going back to that Vuelta, it showed remarkable disipline to assist Wiggins to that TdF. But he did – and then Wiggins failed to pay the win bonus for 12 months (allegedly – and Froome was singled out for that treatment, allegedly)
So unless you have some other dope on him?
