Possibly. I hope it worked like that. I’d love to hear some more from inside the peloton (not the secret pro mind) Froome is still, as I understood, regarded as the freak that keeps on freaking.

strongest rider in the final week winning the race, as Nibali demonstrated two years ago.

Ah yes. Nibali’s win was purely his own forte, had nothing to do with Kruijswijk crashing of course

It had a lot to do with it. But Kruijswijk was in difficulty before he crashed, and you could argue he crashed because he was pushing too hard to stay with Nibali.

I don’t know if I would call it ‘difficulty’, maybe nerves got the better of him when Nibali started to make up time. I think without the crash Nibali wouldn’t have succeeded in beating him. But we’ll never know.
