That ride by froome and sky took big balls. Respect to them for taking the gamble and it paid off. Experience trumps youthful enthusiasm. Yates rode a great 2.5 week grand tour but froome rides 3 week grand tours.

Great ride by Froome, after initiating the attack yesterday he sealed it today with a looooong solo breakaway.  Not shabby for someone who found himself out the top 10 a week ago.

Saw post race interview by Brailsford, said they decided to throw the kitchen sink at it today, riders up the road, anyone and everyone related to sky acting as soigneurs along the route handing out drinks and food and ready for everything. Taking the view that a long attack would be the best option to gain time rather than leaving it to the last hill. Well thought out and executed! Chapeau!

It was the only way.
