Number 2 according to this listFFS, who cares where he's from.
It's where he's at that matters.

To be fair, with Wiggins' track history, he would be more capable of leading out a sprint than a cyclist of Froomes make-up anyway.
To be honest im more of a team sky fan than a froome fan.......im glad team sky put a strong team together to win back the yellow jersey, cause without that strong team, it wouldnt have happened
Big shout outs to stannard and rowe, who put in huge amounts of time pulling the peleton along in the winds, so they sky climbers could do their jobs in the mountains

Easy there Tiger. Not everyone emerges into fandom with a head full of cycling knowledge.

Which makes the 'anti-Froome' comments from some on here even more infuriating and ignorant....

I really like Bradley and his slightly sardonic out look on life. He does seem quite abrupt when he is being interviewed but definitely a nice person if a little cocky. Never really understood Chris because he keeps so much of his small personality under wraps. The bio on him that was on TV last year revealed almost nothing but there were a few moments this year (probably due to so much more TV coverage on him) during the Dauphine and during the Tour that showed him actually smiling/laughing. Also a moment of anger/frustration (not sure if anyone else saw the live broadcast on ITV) when he got in after Nibali attacked when Chris was down. He was shuffled away and afterwards he was back to poker face. Maybe not quite so much a character as Bradley but both exceptional riders and amazing to watch.
I read through the Team Sky bios of everyone during the Tour, interestingly (or not) quite a lot of the team mentioned Bradley as their favourite person because of his impressions. Wonder if Chris' are any good ^^

Me too. I was slightly surprised by the allusions earlier in this thread to Bradley having a flawed personality, and, if I had been feeling braver, I might have asked for more details.
