when Barrichello let Schumacher won in Austria 2002 everybody (especially the Britons) were angered by that and called it lack of respect towards the sport... where is the diffrerence here?

Again team orders were allowed - after that F1 tried to ban them but have it doesn't work. However distasteful you may find this team orders are part of the sport and Sky have always made it clear that Wiggins is their man. I'm sure Froome understands this as well.

This Pinot guy is scary good. Youngest in the tour, clearly one of the strongest in the mountains. Future sure looks good.

Froome lost his head for a moment...great talent. Rolland impressive.

Nibali on form made a race of it.

I think they called Horner back. Baby sitting Klöden again. What a Schleck!

Just wait for the last TT. Still then Froome will gain a few seconds on Wiggins, and on the TT he will beat the s*** out of him, and win the Tour.

there is one big difference - while Schumi was light years better than Rubens, Wiggins and Froome are total peers

I think TeJay showed his true talent today. Very strong ride. Good to see some young fellas up there.

Funny to see Froome ride everyone but Pinot off his wheel at the end there, and VdB sprinting like hell and still losing 3". I hope Sky let him go next time, could be carnage. :D
