That's a difficult one to answer in a straightforward way

However, I suppose the main difference - and why it is such a big deal for British cycling - is that the three best 'players' are all British.

No-one would care as much in this country if Sky had three Spaniards winning stages/jerseys. Instead, however, we have Froome, Wiggins and Cavendish proving themselves to be the best in the world.
