Agree. In one of my previous posts I alluded to Sky not quite looking right at the Dauphine. Tinkoff with the lineup they have are more powerful than Sky IMO, and Rogers is a good captain on the road.
Not really disagreeing with either of you, but I can't believe Nieve has barely got a mention with all the talk Re: Porte/Wiggins. He's already been such a valuable asset and has been climbing as well if not better than anyone from TCS.

I don't buy this one bit, controlling the race is common sense. SKY have already shown how well they can smash a peleton to pieces leaving everyone isolated. So what if Froome is by himself some times, so is everyone else. Froome's attack has so far gained him time, the other two have gained nothing.
The crash yesterday will make things 'interesting' today.
