Sky spend more than anyone else and Froome is a phenomenal natural talent. At others have said, those two facts account for about 80% of GB success.
But then he also needs support from the team.
if you follow road cycling there’s nothing unexpected or suspicious about it whatsoever
I don't think it's suspicious... BC are merely addressing their measurable KPI's and the ones that provide the best funding for them and Sky is then just sucking up the talent developed (and put into the right box to meet their KPI's) through BC.

That's the Esquire piece around the Froome physiological tests. There's always this weird dissonance where some people expect elite athletes to be physiologically comparable to 'normal' people, where the reality is that by definition, they're pretty much inevitably outliers and near mutants, otherwise they wouldn't - guess what - be elite athletes.
