I'll be amazed if they dock him of all people. Had it been the other way around they might have even thrown in some Swiss Francs of off Anton to go with the disqualified for good measure I reckon.

Seconded!
I slated Radioshack at the beginning of this Tour, saying how weak they are. Fair play to them though, been really strong in the team comp and Bakelants in particular has had a blinder. I'm taking nothing I've said about AS back though.

On a cat 1. Speechless.
It is alright it is easy, according to Paul "it is almost a false flat at five and a half percent"

Will Froome go for it at the last climb ? Just trying to sound like I know what I'm talking about.

Best form of defence is attack. Froome would love to win the stage but just making a final statement.

Superb Tour!
Qunitana gets his 2nd place and two jersey's to go with it.
Top win by Froome
. If we're doing comparisons then this win definitely beats Brad's from last year.

Unlucky. Better than losing it to Rolland though.

Not really, I'd backed Rolland at the start of the tour too. Backed Quintana for the white but not the KoM.
Froome rode a dumb racetoday. All he needed to do was ride on Quintana's wheel all the way up.
Instead him and JR did all the work while Quintana sucked along doing no work.

Didn't realise you had Rolland too, sorry. Double unlucky then.
Purely racing talk though - Yep, Froome didn't need to work at all but it's a measure of the kind of rider that he is that he didn't wheelsuck even when that's all he had to do. I love that! Don't begrudge Quintana for riding intelligently today neither as I think he's earnt that right.
Btw, that's some bloody showing again from AG2R today
Done poor old Jean Christophe Peraud proud there again. That should help speed up his recovery.Pogue Mahone

That depends on the criteria for the comparisons.
Froome has been utterly dominant, and the result has never been in question. Bradley looked vulnerable once or twice, but not overly so, last year. Again, he dominated the race - but the course very much suited him.
Froome's win has been brilliant, and I'm really pleased that he has won. But Bradley's win was one of those moments that will stay with me forever. After years of watching the Tour, and years of supporting Wiggo, it was a moment of pure beauty when he won. So for me, his win beats Froome's.
