So Sagan is just Zenith Data System level? I think the green jersey is worth winning, and if someone else is going to get it they should bloody fight for it, not expect it handed down as a consolation prize.

How much have you paid for?

I don't understand the concept that a rider wouldn't fight for the green jersey?

...

I'm not talking about when you're already 2 minutes down. Follow him through the stages, and time trial well. Except the other GC riders can't time trial as well, which again, is because Chris is the best.

You don't need that level of acceleration when it's on a climb finish. You don't need to do it day after day. Do it once and you have the yellow jersey. Which means Froome is the best, which was my point all along.

So you're agreeing with me?

Yes if they try and force the pace, but I'm talking about towards the finish. I do agree with you about the pace - Sky can push more when they feel good, and take it easier when not, but it's often just a couple of domestiques doing the work at the front for Sky, it shouldn't be that hard for...

And all another GC rider has to do is sit on Chris's wheel, being even more protected from the wind, then race over the last mile etc.

Which is a joke. Froome is one of the greatest road cyclists of all time, not just among the Brits.

It is, but he's still the best rider there is.

I'm hoping the riders are clean these days. They're certainly a lot slower than they used to be.

Of course he is. Two English parents who were abroad when they had him, that's all.

Not bad is he.
