The facts are that the team and their tactics were set up to support Wiggins. That was Froome's role in the team and he signed up for it and did it well, if a little bit "precious" at times.
Sky's tactics and choice of Wiggins as leader were proved right at the time, everything else is just opinion/gossip after the event.
Froome could have/would have/should have - Wiggins did!
Sure, the team was set up for Wiggins to be the leader, but it was shameful that the Tour's champ had to be a wheelsucker .
Another thing that really got to me was the chutzpah Wiggins displayed when he held up Froome's share of the winning bonus for a while. Can you imagine the balls to withhold the money from a guy who saved your bacon?
I don't dislike Wiggins, and I am indifferent about Froome; but FAIR is FAIR!
