Of course it is wrong, and the twats that do it should get their collars felt.I don't think it is so much the lack of a French challenger but more the belief that Sky are as bad as US Postal. People believe that Sky are drug-ridden, and the argument that Sky have the best finance/riders/preparation doesn't seem to convince when you see them flying up slopes generating more power than a small motorbike.
Bloody hell, Gilbert has abandoned but just to get back on the bike showed true grit. He's nails.Good to see the concern in the peleton as they rode past him.
Thomas looked strong today and extended his lead, looked like Froome could have done with his inhaler on the climb at the end of the stage.
Froome talking up the team angle as he has to but he must be hurting as the competitor he is. What's Thomas like at time trialling? Surely he's got enough of a cushion?

Gs TT is OK it’s nowt special.
Also wonder will Froome attack? He's 2:30 down on G and won in 2016 on a descent rather than a climb, todays stage finishes with a technical descent, it wouldn't surprise me.
