Yeah, funny how that happened... Team Sky is definitely a huge success.
View original postJokes out of the way, it was a great victory by Froome. Also, I know he's from Kenya, I find it a bit funny how the British media claimed him as one of their own so quickly. He led the Tour nearly the whole way through so his victory was deserved.
Heh. Everybody likes a winner?
It's funny how everybody beforehand seemed to take his victory as a given, and so it became almost a self-fulfilling prophecy. View original postQuitana was also impressive. he gave a great performance for such a young rider, and was a surprise coming from such a non-traditional cycling stronghold.
I beg to differ with the last part. Colombia has a proud tradition of extremely good climbers, starting with Luis Herrera in the eighties, and continuing with people like Botero, Cardenas, in more recent years Soler and Uran and Henao, and now Quintana. Though he does look like he may become the best of them all. Herrera managed to win a Vuelta, but Quintana could win the Tour (then again, he also could not; the list of extremely promising youngsters who never really did fulfill expectations is long indeed, its most recent addition seeming to be Andy Schleck).
British Tour de France winners are a bit like buses.
