Yeah, he went through a silly stage after Sky gave him his first million but the
TdF beat that out of him two years ago and now he's back to normal...great guy
and clearly the best all-round cyclist at the Tour this year...the yellow jersey
doing lead out duty up the Champs...whatever next?

Yeah, that was entertaining.
Hard guy to figure out (to the extent the WE, the general public, have
any reason, justification or rationalization for doing so.)

A few, now well documented, harsh words. Probably justified.
A bunch of demonstrations of character,sportsmanship, being a team
player, general good stuff, etc.
1. Not making a big deal out of Froomes arguably indiscrete comments
and actions on the road.
2. A shared shoulder pat with Nibali on one of the finishes.
3. Helping to lead out Cavendish today

A class act all around. The whole team for that matter.
Geez, add Millar and it's hard to even think of betting against them
next week.

4. He didn't break into tears on the podium.
5. He didn't produce any children on the podium.
6. At one of the after stage interviews he made a joke about what Keith Richards
said he could do with a gram of smack.

They get Millar but they lose the BoDog.

He seems to have a sense a humor, but he's so deadpan it's hard to
pick up on. Oh well, as I said, as if we're in a position to judge....
(although we do all the time)
