Anyone done any W/kg figures for Quintana's climb yesterday? Oh wait, he's not wearing a Team SKY jersey...

This'll be Cav's finest win if he pulls it off. Hope he can.

Agree.Good Tour but not a classic.
Agree.Thomas and Sagan are the stand-out riders for me.
Agree.And Froome won it by being aggresive in the first week (including elbows out!) and being able to defend with a vastly superior team to Movistar.
Agree.Thomas, Porte and Poels are a phenomenal set of team mates.
Their strength in not actually the money, as other people have said. We have similar budgets; we spend 27 million Euro, while they have about 33 million Euro. The fundamental difference between Team Sky and other teams is that they have a long-term project. They’ve got a minimum of a five-year plan, if not even ten years thanks to a commitment from Murdoch’s empire.
It’s not a big deal for the company either, its annual marketing spend is buried in its own accounts, £1,117 million meaning the pro team is about 2% of Sky UK’s marketing budget.

Ok, good, see you all in a couple of weeks for the Vuelta.
