Bike Racing

[Graham Breeze]

I'm perhaps missing the point, but your final two paragraphs appear to back my point up....

Team decision taken with the sponsors in mind... its understandable, but a real shame.

So when Froome (born in Kenya) was proving himself the stronger rider on the TdF climbs but was called back by SKY to prop up a faltering Wiggins so he could secure the first TdF win for an Englishman did you complain that they should have been left to "battle it out"?
