I can't believe Froome isn't getting more credit for what he achieved today, Movistar piled on the pressure as a team all day long on 4 category 1 climbs, and he survived it without a single team member to help.
Kelly and his mate on Eurostar were waxing lyrical for about 2 hours about how disastrous it was that he was alone, how much he was suffering, who would be wearing yellow tonight, what the margin would be, how Sky had collapsed, gone in yellow too early etc. When Froome crossed the line along with Valverde, Quintana and everyone else in navy blue who had hammered him all day it hardly raised a mention. It's like (for example) Beckham getting a draw against an 8 man Spain alone, I'm pretty sure that would have got more media coverage! Heroic effort, probably an even better ride than yesterday when he took yellow.
