                            Would have been better for Froome to just drop Wiggo by 20  seconds or whatever and settle it in the time trial. That was just  humiliation.                   

I kind of agree. They put Froome on too tight a leash there. Wiggins is a big enough boy to find the stage finish without Froome holding his hand all the way. It gave Valverde the win and made Wiggo look like a bit of a dodderer.

If/when he pulls on yellow in Paris it will be a historic moment, but I've a horrible feeling history won't be very kind about this win. It rather lacked panache.
