Everyone threw a fit about him doing so well in the TdF, now it seems everyone is upset that he can't keep up his performance.
Recovery ride, my butt. How is it that Peter Sagan can compete now so soon and win (2 stages and even as a sprinter, 17th in the TT!) and T.J. and Talansky and many others? Plain and simple Froome is sandbagging. He won the big prize and as a champion he is expected to perform at that level for the season or more. I wouldn't be surprised if he also bows out of the 2014 TDF for some vague reasons. Dejavu.
