Which is presumably why Froome called for all riders who finished after the deadline to be eliminated. Losing his whole team would have been a wonderful excuse.
Does he need an excuse? He won the Dauphine and the Tour so has had a successful season. Winning the Vuelta would've made it a great season but the main reason he rides it is to put him in good shape for the winter.
