Froome has been the highlight for me. That surprise attack. Running up Ventoux, coming off and using G's bike to get back on. Destroyed the field in the mountain TT on full time trail bike while the rest on road bikes (mostly).. yeh well deserved. Even if he is supporting Voldemort.
Thrasher-
All of that, and Adam Yates' ride over the three weeks, Porte looking like he might finally step up if he gets a less unlucky run, Pantano and Alephillipe beating each other into submission on the final stage.
So many good moments this year, even if history will record it as a procession -
Likewise Froome.
Never thought I'd like him. But he made the tour really exciting and interesting. No hissyfits, just this incredible drive to win at all odds and some really incredible moments along the way.
That descent early on was just wonderful. As much as everyone said "It's an easy descent though"... none of the others kept pace, or worked together, so aside from just the skills it was the strategy. It may have all been opportunity or it may have been planned, but he read it perfectly and it was so pleasing to watch.

“I think for me the one I enjoyed the most by far was winning on the descent into Luchon,” he stated. “That to me really epitomised what racing is all about. I really did feel like I was a kid again, trying to stay away from my mates behind me and being the fastest one down the hill.
At the end of the day that is what bike racing is all about. For us it is that thrill, it is that boy racer mentality. That is a special stage for me in this year’s Tour de France.”
Nice quote from Froome
