Good on ya Froome. Real progress.
That is true, he held on in the breakaway and to finish third. Great ride.Isn’t that always the case?
regardless today proves a lot of people wrong. No longer a GC contender. But still up there fighting it out with very good climbers.
Yea, never thought I'd be cheering to hard for a rider I intensely disliked for years.First time i've been gutted Froome didn't win. Great stuff today![]()
Is he riding the Vuelta?
Holding on in the breakaway alone was a big victory for him!That is true, he held on in the breakaway and to finish third. Great ride.
I didn't time it, but I think his time might have been somewhere just under 42:00, which is, uh, only 30 seconds or so off what he did in 2018.

Did he really lose 5 minutes to the leaders? Finished about 1:40 ahead of them, thought he started at about 4 ahead on the Alpe but must be off there.I think it was a little less than 44:00.
I think today is going to be very difficult for Froome. The action will start on Galibier & he's likely to get thrown into dropped groups real fast, at which point he becomes a passenger among riders who're just aiming to make the time cut.
The problem he has is one which has been spoken of loads of times, i.e. as soon as the tempo increases, he drops.
Didn't they start the climb with a little bit over6 minutes? The best did 39:10, so Pidcock did ~41:50 and Froome ~44:00?Edit: This, it turns out, was fake news.

You are correct; I was not.Didn't they start the climb with a little bit over6 minutes? The best did 39:10, so Pidcock did ~41:50 and Froome ~44:00?
But are there stage WINNERS that are same or older age? Makes a podium spot mootA quick search through PCS shows that Froome might be the oldest tour winner to podium a tour stage since 39-year-old Gino Bartali had a second-place finish in 1953.
Even Armstrong in 2009 didn't podium a stage apart from the TTT.
The winner is the top of the podium...But are there stage WINNERS that are same or older age? Makes a podium spot moot
