If Froome wasn't there, Movistar would be riding just as defensively.
That's right because Quintana would be in yellow so of course they would defend
So Sky aren't killing cycling. Modern tactics as applied by any team strong enough to implement them are killing cycling.

Isn't it great that attacking is rewarded?
Blame Sky. It's their fault. They are killing cycling. If you attack, you have Thomas shutting it down. Thomas is the 2nd est climber in the race behind Froome.
lol no he is not

No
Movistar and no other team has the weapons Sky have so they wouldn't be able to defend it on the level Sky is defending it at.
