There is still a number of hard stages to come so if he is the strongest climber he should be able to make up time and he has the strongest team to support him. He is a long way down but if he attacks from a long way out and it works he could be taking back time.

You have to be kidding. He lost 4 minutes in the TT with this absurd form. He won't even be the team leader.

No TT in the Tour ...as for team leader he won;t be the first non leader to win a Tour

Really, there's no Time Trial in the Tour this year? I've not looked at the parcours but that would be a first, no?
EDIT: There appears to be 1 TT and one TTT.
It's 28km which isn't that short , he lost close to 3 minutes to Contador in this Giro's time trial by about the first mountain which started at 30kmHelloDolly said:red_flanders said:HelloDolly said:red_flanders said:HelloDolly said:No...but on thi form he could win the Tour de France

Yes (stand corrected) but ITT is a very short prolog
Astana very good at TTT

there is no serious ITT in the Tour
Landa is climbign better than Contador
Dekker_Tifosi said:Nope. He is good at sucking wheels though
Dazed and Confused said:If Astana fires all the DSs, but I think its too late anyway.
