So what's his major goal now? #5 at the Tour or WC gold? By now, Froomey must've realized that #5 won't be easy (mostly due to his sneaky team, not due to his fitness level). WC is his big chance though: he will be the UK leader on Rwanda roads, which he knows so well (getting hard miles in ToR). Should be an epic battle of generations there: Teddy vs Froomey! After this we will know who's the greatest cyclist of the modern era.
His major goal seem to be Tour participation. He also stated a less ambitious goal of just finishing his contract and riding until he's 40 years old. Not much of a goal in itself but that's what he said. -->

"I'm still contracted for this year and for next year, and for now I think that would take me until being 40 years old. I think that for me is quite a good goal to reach 40 and still be racing," the Israel - Premier Tech rider assesses of his future plans in conversation with Eurosport. “I would be really happy with that."

Relaxing on the beach, then get a late call up and go on to win his second Giro.
