The big climb a few stages ago (must have been 16/17?) when he was left with Quintana was unbelievable to watch.
Phenomenal athlete.

Team Sky didn't look as organized in the earlier stages this year either, but Richie Porte did an epic job on that stage.
I just can't get over how skinny Froome's upper body is. Mental. Still, the smash he gave a guy running along side was impressive.

Re: Chris Froome to win TdF
Will he get knighted and win Sports Personality of the year though? I think not, that'll be the scots twat.
Congrats CF, was impressive watching the last 30 minutes yesterday, the top 3 riders came 1,2 and 3rd, that doesn't happen too often does it?

Re: Chris Froome to win TdF
Even though the effort and skill involved in winning this year against last year is most likely the same, both Wiggins and Murray wins will have been seen as "special" as it was the British first (ever, or for 77 years) win plus the Olympic Golds...

I was meaning in the same way that Wiggins did last year guys - I still think it was the sideburns that won it for him - so much personality there.

Re: Chris Froome to win TdF
That would be the double Grand slam winning, Olympic champion, Olympic silver medalist Scots twat would it? I thought it was just us Scots who were meant to be bitter!
Personally I think knighthoods for sportsmen are handed out a little too quickly these days, they would be better kept to be after they've retired as an acknowledgement for a whole career, rather than as a knee-jerk reaction to a success.
Marvelous ride by Froome, he thoroughly deserves to win having controlled so much of the race this year, and for the huge amount of work he’d did for his team last year.
Quintana looks like he could be a serious challenger in the future, indeed looks like there is a healthy new generation coming through the ranks this year.

spot on in every sense. Apart from Sir Alex Ferguson. To be fair, it looked like he would die as MUFC manager, so I guess they had to knight him
