2013 Mont Saint Michel Froome would be a solid choice in any TT in any race in any year.

It was all hype to keep his relevance. Don't forget he signed with a new team. It would be bad for him, Ineos and ISN to say that he still had a lot to improve.It was mostly Froome himself who had unrealistic expectations. Right up until he was dropped from the TDF team, he was expressing optimism that he could win.

Chris Froome of Team Ineos says Tour de France delay will boost his chances
Chris Froome says the two-month delay to the Tour de France has helped him make up the training time he lost while recovering from a horrific crash last yearwww.theguardian.com
Translation: if he doesn't do well, he has an excuse.
Of course he's disappointed for failling the Tour selection, but he's not stupid and deep down he knows it was the right choice.
Just barely tho. Another pathetic showing yet again. This might be the best GT I've seen for years.Well.... he was top 30 when he finished
fyck me you are desperate. this 2020 season has been great with great GT and you are enjoying a rider coming back from an injury getting distanced? wow, sad life.

He still seems in good spirit, and he continues to get plenty of support on the road.
Not sure how big a help he can be this week, but Carapaz could do with him having one big day.

Poor Carapaz he riding his heart out alone on front out while Dawg is distracting from team focus the race is all about his 'recovery' for next year on another team, its bizarre

Yes, fully agree.
I do not know why this thread is so positive though. Thought already that he won't be ready for the Vuelta but he is actually doing way worse than expected. I agree that he is seriously lacking leg muscle definition, so there might be room for (quite some) improvement still That said, he is so far off currently that I find it likelier that he will never again finish a GT in the top 10 than the other way around.

What a career with Sky/Ineos! Hopefully he has just as much success with his new team in the future!

And congratulations on receiving his 2011 Vuelta.
He celebrated one GT win with INEOS.

Thank you, Chris,
it looks like you are over, I'm afraid.
But remember, The Second Decade of The XXI Century belongs to you.
And please, be a champion, just retire and forget about the bag.

Can you call him the first British GT winner? He did win the 2011 Vuelta, but he didn't win it in 2011.

Why do you want people to retire just because they can't win anymore ?
What kind of mindset is that ? If a rider wants to keep riding, let him be.

Why?
Because, it is so painful to watch him as a member of grupetto all the time
He has some options:
- the best - to find his own Angrilu and finish his era as Contador did 3 years ago- but it is too late I'm afaid;
- the only possible - to retire to finish being a ridiculous member of grupetto - please do it, as soon as possible;
- to be an entity of silly remarks about "the bag", as Nibali is - he shouldn't allow to be;
