Cav' Posted July 21, 2013 Share SkyYou cant really fault Sky, three stage wins, multiple podiums, and yellow jersey all the way to Paris. Losing Edvald was the only real dissapointment for them.  MovistarReally hard to decide between 4 and 5 stars, but in the end, if you'd said to Movistar before the race, how would you like 2nd overall, the White Jersey, the Polka Dot Jersey and 3 stage wins, they would have bitten your hand off. Really hard to see how it could have gone better for them.  SaganSagan was just mr consistency, picking up points everywhere despite only picking up one stage win. Sagan will be pleased with green, not sure Cannondale will be so pleased with their performance GreenedgeIt seems so long ago, but 2 stage wins, 4 days in yellow, and busgate, they certainly got the attention. Even if they did vanish competely in the last two weeks.  Argos, QuickstepStage wins galore, but never came close to challenging for Green. Argos will be pleased, Quickstep might be dissapointed.  SaxoHow they conspired to have two men in the top ten and not even remotely threaten Froome and end up not even making the podium I will never know. Their tactics had even the most knowledgable fans stumped. The team prize will be little consoluation but Im sure they will paint it as such.  The No - StarsBMC - Seriously, went in with two GC contenders, came out with 35th on the GC with Morabito of all people, and a sole second place. Gilbert was anonymous, Van Garderen and Evans both desperately lacking form, the rest. Awful. Europcar - Hugely dissapointing, Voeckler not close to his best, and Rolland despite giving the Mountains Jersey a good go was far from his best as well.  Lampre - Were they even at the Tour? Garmin aka Sons of Anarchy. The second stage in the Pyrennes was one of the best mountain stages that I have seen in a long time. Garmin kicked off the chaos and had Dan Martin finish it off in a tremendous stage win. Jack Bauer gets this years Barbed Wire award. Talansky getting a deserved top 10 position will probably put him next in line for the great USA hope taking the T-shirt off Teejay's back. Personally, my money is on Dombrowski. Rumours of new sponsorship money coming from Qatar will put a smile of Vaughter's face. Lotto-Bellisol. Nice stage win for Greipel, but not as many as last year. Plus loss of Jurgen van den Broeck. Bring on the Vuelta nochain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harryn Posted July 21, 2013 Share Chris Froome showed grace, poise, humanity & humility in victory. What a champion. What a gentleman. All of those (both here on the hub and elsewhere) who have cast aspersions against him, should be hanging their heads in shame!
