It's difficult to gauge his true potential because we've watched him come second in two GTs essentially shackled, and now one as leader when fatigued. What he might have done in those two were he free to ride as he sees fit, and what we might now be seeing if he didn't have the TdF in his legs is anyone's guess.
One thing is clear: he's not riding clever at all, and whether that's down to his calls or the DS' is again up for conjecture. Sky's approach is llmited, perhaps showing what a young team they are. Give them months to prepare and they will execute a race in military like precision, give them an after-thought like the Vuelta and they seem a lot less able to think on their feet. Froome needs more cunning
