Comes from the same place as all the Kenyan greats?

Yep kenyan by birth - Father is British.
Sky/British cycling set up is second to none at the moment so take a good athlete and give him the training, expertise and tech that they have at their disposal and that's what you get. Possibly next year's tour winner?

The current Sky set up for some reason reminds me of the England rugby squad in the run up to the 2003 WC

Does anyone know what Cav's contract length is with Sky, I can see why he is there this year. But what's in it for him next year?

BBC: "Tour de France leader Bradley Wiggins has promised to support Chris Froome's attempts to win the famous race."

well there's the answer to that one!

mmm, that could turn into a Hinault-LeMonde style situation - though that's a slightly flattering comparison for the Sky riders at this stage.
