I felt no joy or wonderment at what I saw; no admiration, nor suspense. I just felt a dull pain, like I had just witnessed someone take something of emotional value from me.
Which, I suppose, I had.
Quote
We are asked consider the exploits of a bike racer who overcame a rather ordinary start in the sport to become a four-time Tour de France winner, who rides for a team that proclaimed it could dominate the cycling by doing lots of little things right and has become embroiled in controversy, and who argues that kidney malfunction and/or acute dehydration explains the abnormal levels of asthma medication tests revealed at the Vuelta a España.
We’re also asked to accept that he started the Giro with imperfect form, or was set back with his TT recon crash in Jerusalem. That he couldn’t hold the wheel on a steep finale on Stage 4 and got dropped five days later on the climb to Gran Sasso, but then went from fair to good to great after a rest day. That he really showed his grit on Monte Zoncolan, perhaps the hardest climb in cycling. And then, finding his best form late in the third week of a tough Grand Tour, he struck out for an uncharacteristic three-climb solo attack and put three minutes on two of the strongest remaining GC contenders.
Even if I give Froome and Sky the benefit of every doubt — which is asking a lot — I still believe that the maglia rosa that he will wear at the start of Stage 20 in Susa does grievous harm to the very institutions that have made him rich and famous.
