I dont like lot of things of Froome, but I will fight with all my strenth againt that becouse is fakse and it is a big mistake. It is the previous era wich is false. Froome was maybe not a supertalent, vey good rider for 3 week races with hot, but not so talented as other big names in History, but he won, and he won with the rules ok, not as his previous era who was very different. Lot opf people beileve you know a lot about cycling by sayin g things like that but it is not true. He did a very good first Tour when he was not to ride it..and he was quite bad later and even his team wanst thinking to sign him again before his good Vuelta. He got his place just becouse his merit, the team was with Wiggo. The route started at Alicente, a hot place...he find his level, it was a period, but he always got good result tre precious years, Good and bad result, but he gort always good result...every rider has a development and an stry behind....Pogacar has one, simnilar to Pinot..Evenepoel has another, and Froome has another...Ypour cannot say one is more logical without study all factors.

I am a huge fan of Chris Froome. Always have been. But I also believe that you are what your record says you are. And his poor showing in the Dauphiné strongly suggests it's time.

Good news! He made it to the Tour!
Bad news: He got well beaten by a Romanian rider from the Mentorise team.

he did a turn in front in the beginning of the climb for a few moments, so he wasn't useless. of course he is the most notorious rider in this race, so he is a good publicity, and he acted as the spokesman of the team, in the team presentation (it seems that the romanians.have a lot of respect from him).

Every single rider from the Romanian conti team MenToRise beat Froome in the time trial.

At this point he's going to find himself being beaten by a lettuce.

it was not much of a time trial. 3km length - lots of narrow cobbled alleys, road furniture everywhere, people walking in the middle, twists and turns. i don't think no one in the team wanted to put him self in jeopardy for extra few seconds.
