Get what, that it's a team sport? Froome looked a much better climber than Wiggins. Personally I have no interest in Team Sky whatsoever and would rather have seen Evans win in lack of other candidates.

You support Evans over Wiggins?
Wiggins has tinkled all over Froome all year winning 3 tours already. He is the lead rider by rights and I think he beats Froome in a straight fight.

hahahah isnt that the whole point of being in it...what a ridiculous statement
There are many teams that have other targets. One of the "problems" is that they're the only ones riding as a team. There's a lack of GC challengers.

All of Indurains tours were boring. As Brad said, if people want a clean sport they have to accept it will be a little more 'boring'
I used to love watching the TdF in the early noughties despite Armstrong's domination as there were always a few riders going for the GC, there were always attacks in the mountains and you had another group fighting for the green jersey. They were probably on drugs all of them, but the entertainment was better.

So you want drugs then?
No, I'd like some entertainment. We need some new riders to come through, most of the best Italians and Spaniards used to be on drugs and now they're just shadows of their former selves.
Next year there will be more climbs, so I'm hoping for some improvement. Watched a few classics and some of the Giro and found that far more interesting this year.

Got to say i think Froome if he had attacked would have cracked Wiggins and got enough time out of him. Apparently there birds have been having an argument on twitter, people that use that thing really are ****s.
Still Froome is fairly young and im sure he will be team leader next year and wiggins will ride for him, of course that leaves cav up brick street.
Agree about there not being enough GC guys riding for it this year, with Schleck and ****ador returning next year i think there will be a lot more attacks and of course the is likely to be more mountain top finishes.
Tony martin is my favourite rider after cav and im hoping that next season of maybe even in London he can really show people what he is made of.

Both Contador and Andy Schleck were missing. Will be interesting to see them battling in the Vuelta. With Froome probably also, as sky's captain in that race.

When it comes to cycling nationality has nothing to do with it. I just want to see an exciting race.
in 2009 I was fully behind Wiggins, a clean rider coming from nowhere to be 4th. It was an exciting new era. Then he made an arse of himself in Paris.
2010 I was delighted to see Andy Schleck attack the then dominant Contador.
2011 The Schlecks embarrass themselves waiting for each other up climbs and seem content to just beat an injured Contador. I had a huge bet on Evans during the first week and was happy to see him romp home. Contador's almost suicidal attack at the start on stage 19 was one of the most entertaining moments I've ever seen in any sport and I cant help like the guy for that.
2012 No one could compete with Wiggins so much that we almost hoped Froome step up and do something. Horrible race for the neutral like the early Indurain tours of my youth. I would have loved to see Wiggins on the attack. Everything he id was so safe. He attacked more in 2009.
I don't think the boringness is down to being clean. There was nothing for the climbers to get their teeth into this year. Just 2 proper mountaintop finishes. It was always gonna be won in the 2 time trials. Also the 3 best climbers around were missing in Contador, Schleck and Sanchez. I don't think any of them had a chance this year regardless.
As long as they've got a captain to worry about their sprinter won't get a lead out. Many sprinters have done well on their own over the years, just need to find the right back wheel.
