After Chris Froome’s dominant win on the Pierre-Saint-Martin climb on Stage 10 on Tuesday, the twitterverse was rife with speculations regarding Froome’s performance.
On the one hand, we have respected sports scientist Ross Tucker saying the following on his website:
What began as an attempt to argue for cleaner cycling has become increasingly difficult to do, and it’s not the SRM that tells you that, it’s the collection of factors ranging from the patronizing PR to the half-truths, the full-lies and emerging reality that the sport has just adapted its journey in the same direction.

Then we have sports physician and exercise physiologist Dr Jeroen Swart tweeting the following:

And then we have Lance who breaks the internet with this tweet.

What are your thoughts? And speculations aside, has Froome’s dominance influenced whether you will continue watching the Tour? Is it now just a race for second?
