http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/froome- ... -his-foot/ - he rode 135km with a broken bone in his foot and I think he finished within ten minutes of the winner. I'm not sure whether that's madder than Contador riding on for a few km with a broken leg in last year's TdF.

I have a lot of time for Chris Froome. He really seems like a decent guy, and always has time to talk to the press etc. Got to give him some respect for chatting to them when obviously in pain and unable to walk at the end of the stage. Chris himself tweeted that he was knocked off. Would be interested in more details on that!
