Harsh on Froome all that. He's been very disciplined again in the Tour - more disciplined than other right hand men in the past have been willing to be. I wouldn't doubt he's frustrated, but that's understandable: he's in a race with no Andy Schleck and Contador and it's very winnable for him. As for his climbing ability: I dont know what he has to do to prove he has the pedigree to cut it in the mountains. He obviously has to work to order at all times and so any surge he'd like to make to sustain a break is going to be not on his terms - the whole day has been mapped out for Wiggins, not Froome. He looked like he was about to ride away on stage 11 and was only stopped by team radio instructions. This feller's got the lot; he's a better all-round rider than Wiggins. If they was head to head on different teams with equal quality I'd back Froome to take a massive amount of time out of Wiggins in the mouintain stages, even though BW might gain a minute or so total on Froome from a couple of long TTs.
I'm happy Wiggins will win this TdF, but make no mistake: it's down to a combination of team politics, an advantageous tour stage schedule that put so many TTs in there, and the absence of the two top riders in the world that's presented his opportunity. If he wins it this year, he'll never defend it successfully next year or win it again.
