The polemics have died down, thankfully, because the race is so close and other teams and riders look as strong as Sky. You can also point to the tactics: Sky do not fuck around unlike BMC when Porte was still in the race, and Quickstep, who have effectively squandered Martin's chance of a win. Even Ag2r La Mondiale sent doms up the road today, perhaps to fit Bardet to bridge to but it was risky. Sky come to the race with a single purpose, fair play to them. It may not be pretty but it's effective, although still would love Uran to spring a surprise, despite Vaughters' casual sexism complaining that Eurosport had no hotties when he commentated for them.
I guess for the French now to call Froome a doper means you are calling Bardet one since he is as strong as him.
But there's mutterings about motors and the number of bike changes/mechanicals, Virenque has insinuated it, Kimmage too. Everyone loves a good conspiracy.
Jimmy, you seem to seek out the opinions of idiots (not on here idiots, of course). I haven't seen any of this chatter, but then, I don't really follow cycling much.
