Are you new here or something?
Here's what he could have done:
- Not be British and/or
- Not ride for Sky/INEOS
You're 100% correct and not every opinion deserves respect.
I agree Contador was the closest, especially pre-suspension, but Froome was more entertaining overall: a) he was more versatile and diversified/astute on his attacks; b) I have a hard time seeing Froome spending 3 weeks being towed by Roman Kreuziger around France for a top-5 without at least having a go, no matter how desperate/doomed.
Wow, he doesn't attack much when he's in yellow in a GT? What a monster. Some of Froome's GT wins were somewhat monotonous. Not his fault though - rather of timorous and defensive opponents who were happy to settle for podium placements and top-10s.
And if anything, Froome is a pretty attacking maillot jaune for this era - but obviously he isn't going to launch suicidal solo attacks 50kms out when he's leading the GC by 2 minutes.
As RuiMachado said, Froome has won GTs by attacking on descents, attacking on flats, launching long range attacks, launching multiple attacks on successive stages, bordures, etc. The other guys normally lacking the guts/panache to do the same when Froome is on yellow (besides a couple of stages) doesn't mean Froome is boring; they are.
