Alaphilipe has been excellent.
Yes the GC race would have been better if Porte and Nibali hadn't crashed but the tour overall has still been most enjoyable. And it's not over yet. -
Even Froome looks too shagged to do any decent attacks.
He looked beyond fucked yesterday in the warm down. Like a shell of a skeleton or something. Hats off to him for giving such a well composed interview.
Basically I like him when he’s not winning

When Nibali won the tour, Contador and Froome crashed out, Porte had an epic bad day, so clearly the best of the rest with no major bad luck, same as Thomas this year. There is still a sense that he only won because Froome and Contador crashed out. (probably true given their form in 2014)
Still looking forward to seeing what Roglic can do in the last mountain stage and TT, he looks proper mean when he's attacking (angry eyes)
Imagine if Dumoulin was at Team Sky. It would be the most boring winningest team ever.

If anything I feel like there's been so much drama this year that it may overshadow Thomas (G)'s win, especially if he doesn't win it again.
Movistar's multiple leaders all looking a little under cooked, Nibles crashing, all the sprinters out, more crashes hampering those that didn't have to pull out, punctures ruining it for Bardet, Barguil joining a worse team, everyone getting tear sprayed, all the main GC riders having to go for wins because they lost too much time too early. It's been good watching but it has become Sky vs Dumoulin. Even Froome looks too shagged to do any decent attacks.
The best part about this tour so far has been Alaphilippe and the race for polka dots.
