He lost 8 seconds today. How’s he going to be competitive in the TDF when he can’t hold the wheel of riders like group one of tge TdR? Teddy Pogie leads out his sprinters and still finishes with the same time. Froome leads out Nadav Reisberg or something and gets dropped? This is the Tour of Rwanda for Pete’s sake. If he can’t give us some false hope here, then he truly needs to hang ‘em up.He did finish in the bunch.

He‘s exactly where he needs to be, at the moment.
Yeah, but froome have 4 tours de france. How many tours your idol quintana have? 0.Some Froome fans are like the boys who see in every bread crumble that a girl drops a hint for hope. Move on.
4 Tours on Sky √π∆ versus Barloworld/Israel. You do the math.Yeah, but froome have 4 tours de france. How many tours your idol quintana have? 0.
He can't even get a job in a cycling team. Don't cry.
It doesn't matter. Nobody is gonna take from him, his seven grand tours.4 Tours on Sky √π∆ versus Barloworld/Israel. You do the math.
Short interview with him. He's now about 40 seconds behind in the overall.

OK compared to what exactly? Props for the ride at Alpe d’huez but this doesn’t even look like rider who is just past his best. This guy won 7 GTs, and now looks like Greg LeMond at the Tour de Trump all year round. His climbing form is closer to Mario Cipoollini than Claudio Chiappucci these days.He did ok in TDF last year until forced out due to illness
Actually is best performance wasn't alpe d huez. His best performance was stage 16, on mur de peguere. On that stage he finished 31 th with the same time of pinot, lutsenko, mas. He finish 2min and 40 seconds behind pogacar and vingegaard. Clearly he was getting better. Then, he was infected by coronavirus.OK compared to what exactly?

The guy had a horrendous accident three years ago and it’s a blessing that he can still ride, but for Christ’s sake, do something Froome.
Looking to his strava, today he did 211 km, but the stage was 138 km. 72 km until km 0?
that yesterday stage. He put something before the stage..but anyway his strava yesterday didnt work very well....today ok.If one of his legs is still longer than the other, it might be difficult for him to ride in a straight line*
*That should of course not influence the Strava file too much
