I've got to be honest, I think that a lot of the time 'boring' is shorthand for 'that guy I don't like is winning'.
Much truth to this.

This too.

Get rid of race radios and power data and Sky would be in real trouble. Froome could not get near a GT win without a strong team.
He just cannot improvise or attack like Bertie or Nibs can.
Sky are so bland and boring just like their riders.
Do you watch bicycle racing? Did you miss Froome attacking over and over at the Vuelta? Or in races this Spring? In many cases he seems to go purely off of his gut feeling and doesn't actually succeed. If he was riding to a formula then it's a pretty shitty formula.
Yup.
As for blaming power meters...laughable.
