I really hope Sky isnt stupid enough to force Froome back to help wiggo if he has a horrible day/badly timed mechanical. Sky is so rediculously strong this year with Boasson Hagen Rogers, Porte (who IMO is a potential GC contender if he had his own team) they should have enough potential to let froome be a backup GC guy in case wiggo has a bad day. Sky is starting to remind me of Postal and Discovery in the LA days except those teams never had anyone who could keep up with their leader the whole way up climbs

Some good points, but Postal and Discovery did have plenty of GC guys who could've won. Heras, Hamilton, and Landis are the first 3 off the top of my mind. Not to mention all dopers, lol...

They didn't bring him back due to a terrible day or mechanical, but apparently it looks like they stopped an attack.... I was just getting updated on the phone, so don't know exactly what happened.
