Riding Clean?

Well, is he?  Chris Froome that is, the Keynan-born Britton who will ride into Paris tomorrow to claim his second Tour De France victory.  I don’t know and I’d be none the wiser if his ‘power data’ or his blood passport were released in all honesty.

His race winning destruction of the field on stage 10 was probably the moment when the questions came into focus.  As the post-Armstrong saying goes ‘if it’s too good to be true, it probably is’ and that’s been Froome’s problem.
