Win at the expense of everything - and dressing up exploiting others misfortune (not their idiocy - their misfortune) in quasi-positive terms like 'opportunistic' seems to be the mantra in sport....and life in general really.
I don't like it terribly much. I acknowledge this means I am getting left behind - and so be it.

He's obviously tapped into the, erm, reserves.
Can't believe Yates. Gutted for him.
Froome though... if he pulls this off it's one of the greatest rides of all time (assuming he is clean - well, cleanish).
Without a summit finish you'd say G will need to be content with his 1.59 lead over Dumoulin.
Unless he goes bang in a big way on the climb (unlikely) they aren't going to put big time into him on the run in, so Sky will be defensive all day long.
I really hope it all goes smoothly for G - there will be very, very few people not delighted to see him get a surprise Grand Tour under his belt!
I'm not one for heroes really, but I will be genuinely chuffed for him if he does - more so than anyone else. Just seems a nice lad and that is an underrated quality.
