well today's stage was unexpected!! For once I saw Froome without his team and he was on his limit. What a crazy stage today. Yesterday, we just saw Nibali peeled off before the top, just to see him today attacking at some 100+km and grabbed the yellow jersey. In the process he dropped Froome as well. Tomorrow we'll see if Froome can bounce back.
This is what I meant about Sky not having a plan B! If they don't succeed in their scientific mentality then they are fuched, irrespective of what else is going on, because they simply haven't got a clue: other than mobile hotels with anti-bacteria soap for health and "sleeping well!" How obscene can you get?
you made a good point. Sky seems to be off more these days. Not only they don't have plan B, but their riders seem to care more about jostling their rank in the team. Maybe they did boost their team with new climbing talent like konig, roche, poehls. But it seems to me those guys move there so they know what's the secret of sky training so they can move on to other team become a sole leader.
Even their current rider looks to make sure they look for their own glory. Thomas said in his interview hinting that he would want to go for stage win glory. Nothing wrong with that of course. But it just shows they some ambitious riders who doesn't just want to work as domestique only. For now, sky doesn't seem together as a team and let alone improvise on the road. I don't believe they will be that strong like 2013/2012.
