Tour de France 2012

Brilliant. This is the same as the commuter racing theory that you are faster than someone else because you overtake them riding home from work.

Brad even said himself afterwards that he wanted to finish at his own pace, why should he dig deeper into his reserves when he's already in yellow with no more to gain than what he just had?

Hardly, they were on top of a Pyranean Mountain. Froome was gesticulating at Brad to come with him, and Brad didn't go with him. Not a stupid supposition to judge that Brad couldn't keep to the pace of Froome, given the two of them had just shed all the best climbers in the Tour inc Nibbles.

Commuter? Really? Va ta couche
