If e'd been in Froomey's position, e'd have steered it wi' 'is teeth clamped to his 'andlebar stem. Nay, lad, they were proper 'ard men in 'is day.

Buncha nancy boys if you ask me. I remember when I were a lad, me dad broke a pedal spindle during a 12-hour time trial. He simply got a bolt out of 'is saddlebag, pushed it between 'is achilles tendon and 'is ankle bone, screwed it into t'pedal, finished race and then rode 'undred miles back 'ome.

Love the four Yorkshiremen routine.

Comparing their history, Froome has not shown he's as tough as Contador. It's partially because Contador is pretty "unlucky", I mean, in his career PLENTY of things didn't go his way. And he always came back. Without his wife whining on twitter, by the way. We will see if Froome can do the same.
