Yeah, I quite liked Black Watch as well.
I don't think it's absurd to see it as a missed opportunity (not to suggest the decision should have gone another way). It would have added a bit more drama to the race - if Froome doesn't have competition in his competitors, throwing fortune (perhaps a French journalist would say Fortuna) into the mix would have helped. Everyone loves an underdog, or someone who succeeds in spite of an injustice.
Froome could have been Rudy!
