    I agree, give me riders like Contador, Martin, Bardet and Barguil every day over wheelsuckers like Uran and Yates.

    Yes, Uran and Yates will do well on GC but that doesn't stop them being absolute boringly calculated and cautious to the point of being sterile riders to watch. How do they sleep at night?
    Whereas you from the sofa have brandished the remote control in a manner consistent with the highest sporting, ethical and moral standards.
    Rest easy tonight, you've earned it.

    Btw I have no particular axe to grind re Yates. Just a bit nervous of us all wanting continuous super human attacking in the high mountains. We had that before.

    No.....
    We want guys high up in GC to actually try win by attacking, instead of winning by just staying on.
    Riders/Teams not risking their 8th place (or wherever) on GC , by launching an attack or two to try rise up the leader board is apparently not a tactic anymore...
    But sitting behind the Sly train is .......... Thats not racing.

    Never have I had less interest in the TDF than in the Froome era. Most boring champion ever.
