Seriously though, a Froome fan should be seriously worried. The team doesnt appear to be string enough. They were not in the front. Kiriyenka, Pate, Xandio is a definite worry.
Not sure yet how much of this is due to the team being weak or not. We will know more tomorrow. They may have been taking it a bit more careful today knowing tomorrow is going to be a monster day, made all the harder by being only stage 2.
In the case of TCS, except for Majka (due to obv reasons) everyone else looked pretty strong.
Agree. I also think Majka should not have been brought to this race. I really don't see him having much to contribute in week 3. I hope to be wrong about this.
and WTF was Froome doing following rogers' wheels? tht was the dumbest move ever made by a gc rider. Sky's team car is still behind tinkof's car. This is where saxo showed smartness. They used Rogers to get the spot.
I disagree. While I think it's possible Froome panicked and thought he could gain time over a crash, forgetting the 3K rule, it was smart of him to take off and go if he did think he had a chance to put time into his rivals. I don't buy that he was thinking only about the car position, but even so, it wasn't a bad decision by him, and if Alberto had done the same, I'd be praising him for his tactical nous.
I think the original team plans to have Rogers for TCS and G for Sky mix it up for team car spots is much safer than having the GC guys do it themselves, but if Froome's sprint wasn't pre-planned but just a reaction to circumstances, it wasn't a dumb move.
