I think Froome has been valiant but daft as brush IMO. The climbs are a couple of notches above the Tour's, and so are the climbers. He has seemed far too gung ho the entire race, using his team badly and attacking at stupid times, and unecessarily getting involved in sprint leadouts.
They strike me as the acts of someone too confident in their own abilities after the Tour, and the whispering of the cycling world and the Cound in his ear. I think he needs to show more maturity and nous to become a serious GT contender against the best. I suppose questions should be asked of the DS as well.
With his weird arms I also think Froome should have a new nickname: The Praying Mantis. Also Ian Stannard should The Hulk
