Throwing a bottle at Froome a few stages back, and now attacking him when he's down, it's kind of weak sauce, but since I dislike Froome, I'll let it slide . That quote from Nairo above is also interesting. Expressing surprise at how good Froome can climb is a mix of arrogance (he's already kicked your butt on stage 10) but also a bit of what Nibali did talking about Valverde. All these guys speak in their own language, and it's all translated, and things in different languages are nuanced in different ways, but I think all the negativity toward Sky is making some of these other guys a bit bolder.
