Sunday's race, when Froome was far from the front, no teammates around - suppose he had no radio? There goes the race, no one to help him, no one to consult, what would he do? Maybe put his a** in gear because there are no other options. Then it would be the break trying to stay away from a man riding like a Froome possessed who can see the tail end of the leaders. I'd be rooting for Contador/Quintana, but if I were a betting man, the money wold be on Froome getting on. Yes, Froome would lose out the final climb when this huge ffort would cost him, but what, 30 seconds?
We don't know that no radio would have helped, We do know that race radio did not help Froome at all!
