Froome Again

This is a great triumph for Team Sky, unfortunately, as Team Sky is a Murdoch creation like Andrea Mackris' fortune and Fox "News".  It is also more than likely a great triumph for pharmacology remaining one step ahead of the WADA.  (And if they're all racing clean by some miracle, it's not by choice; the Tour is way too tough to race it without any help you can get away with.)  Froome was good enough this year; if they'd chucked out the rest days and added just one more mountain stage, Nairo Quintana would probably have taken it.  Or they could have added a couple of individual time trials and given Froome the chance to win it by way more than a minute.  Of course, Froome's victory is also a great triumph for Obama, since he and Froome were both born in Kenya.  Thanks, Obama.
