Comparing Lance and Froome seems a bit silly. Don't think the guys have much in common outside their chosen profession. The similarities are more about coming off as arrogant outsiders ignoring the old rules and traditions while acting as if you're the best thing that ever happened to the sport. Just better, smarter and showing everyone else the way the sport should be done. With Sky that's mostly a team effort. The team does the hard work to alienate fans and piss people off. Success just seals the deal and puts the spotlight on Froome.
In comparison Contador is traditional old cycling. The good and the bad. Rides to entertain the fans and follows the old traditions.

Degenkolb seemed really aggressive earlier too. Pretty much pushed Sagan out of Greipels wheel. Guess there being so few stages that suit sprinters makes them more aggressive. Never been the biggest fan of sprint stages but feels like this year isn't really giving them enough opportunities.
