I enjoyed this year's Tour. Plenty of drama and show, especially for and by Sagan. Team Sky and ('Hey) Froome(y!') played it superbly, they never had a moment of real weakness in the mountains and their paying attention in the first couple of tricky stages really paid off.
No wins, not a lot of glory but the Dutchies have been proving themselves to be tough, solid and consistent all the way to week 3 of this Tour. Pretty nice seeing Poels, Kruijswijk, Mollema and the resurrected Gesink all together up front with the elite. Like the latter mentioned in an interview yesterday, I think we'll just have to be happy to be 'best of the rest'.
