Contador 2009 maybe beats this Froome? LOL

The worst version of Contador almost beat the best Froome in an ITT such as this. Some people need to watch some cycling before making an account here.
Contador would put half a minute in froome tomorrow

Actually I've been watching since about 1986 - 30 years. If you can provide a recent example since 2011 in a grand Tour where Contador beat Froome in a TT I am very happy to be proven wrong.

Thank you I was wrong (sorry Milburo :eek: ). But the Vuelta isn't the Tour is it. Froome has always been at peak for the Tour while Contador's form has been very inconsistent outside of the Vuelta and Giro so in 2016 I think it is not realistic to predict AC would be a threat tomorrow had he still been in the race.

Re: 2016 Tour de France, Stage 18: Sallanches → Megève (17km

How do you see Meintjes chances for a top10 tomorrow? Usually not strong at tts but he seems to be in good shape?

Stef Clement gonna give it a go or not?

Does anyone seriously think Froome isn't going to win this?
He'd certainly win if it were necessary to do so for GC. Now that it's not, it's less likely.

But he's still the favourite.

I never understood the point of mountain time trials. I mean it's nice for a guaranteed win if your favorite rider is the strongest, but other then that...

I think Dumoulin and Porte have a shot of winning the stage. Still, hard to imagine Froome shipping 2 minutes to the GC contenders, which is what it would take for this race to become competitive.

Forget the winner Froome has it in the bag barring a crash. But the podium is still an interesting fight.

Isn't it obvious? MTTs show who is the strongest climber and late in the race who has best recovery. Climbing stages have tactics so strongest usually but not always wins. If Froome wasn't here or was vulnerable you would say different I am sure. I am not convinced Froome is as strong as 2013 but could be proven wrong tomorrow.
 
Froome can basically name his margin at this point. Obviously he will gain time on all the contenders if he goes full gas.

He may ship 30 seconds to Porte and gain time on everyone else just to get a few people off his back, though. I think that's a strong possibility.
