Tour de France 2012

Yep, too many armchair know-nothings on twitter and farcebake moaning about Froome being held back.
Cobblers, in addition to what dubtap just said, it would have looked pretty fucking pathetic for Froome to chase down Valverde and still not manage to pip him on the line. Or for him to sod off and suddenly Nibbler comes back and catches Brad...

Both less likely than Mr Burns being dragged off his bike or puncturing.
He could've and should've gone for the stage.
