I thought that Froome had about 2 seconds on Quintana, but they were given the same time

Well, I turned on the telly just in time to see Froome coming round the final bend to cross the finish line - initially thought I was watching a repeat of 2011 until I realised that was Quintana behind him, not Cobo. Shall definitely have to watch the highlights later.
Nice response from Froome in the post-race interview to the question about banning power meters - "Yeah, sure, and why don't we go back to single speed as well!"
He seemed to really enjoy that win.

Yes, I enjoyed his riposte too. He's getting a bit feisty, that Froome!

Sorry. I try to avoid getting enthusiastic about these things.

Last time Froome won on Peña Cabarga, I was surreptitiously watching at work and had to bite my knuckles pretty hard to stifle my excitement. That still rates as one of the most exciting bike races I have ever seen.

Always best to maintain a level of decorum. No reason to lower oneself to the behaviour of johnny foreigner.
