"I'll Never Dishonour Maillot Jaune"
Froome has not been all that exciting, but he has conducted himself in a professional and honorable manner to the sport.

I don't necessarily fault Froome for riding a defensive tour. But certainly makes for a more boring TDF. Given how strong the competition was this year he may have been forced to ride a defensive...

A disappointing TDF
This years TDF has been a bit on the boring side this year. Froome rode a defensive tour. I would have liked to have seen Froome go on the attack rather than wait.

Why Alberto lost the Tour
Contador rode a valiant and honorable tour this year. I am hoping that he has other goals then the TDF. The Worlds and or the fall classics might be in reach for him.
