Re: Re:
At dauphine, froome is close to be in top shape but he ISN'T in top shape.TheYouyou7 said:buchanan said:He looked like he was pedaling squares up that hil, in all sorts of discomfort. But perhaps he really is just at the Dauphine to get quality racing mileage. But like others have said, Froome and Porte can also be expected to improve between now and the Tour.
He's also at a disadvantage on descents. Not as good a descender as Froome, Valverde, etc. He was gapped about 15 seconds to Valverde and Bardet on the finishing descent today.
Froome and Porte won't improve they always come at 99% in DL
He let go on the descent, he didnt want to take any chances
