100%, especially 2013.Hypothetical... Would 2013-15 Froome be a favorite for the ITT?

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.

Translation: if he doesn't do well, he has an excuse.
Well.... he was top 30 when he finishedI admit
He might top 30 the ITT
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

That rueful grin...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.
"Damn he running faster than I did then"
Yes, fully agree.To be fair, Froome making a full recovery would be absolutely epic. Never rooted for the guy but if he can really fight for the Tour again I'm not gonna be mad. That said, one single half decent climbing performance a year doesn't convince me just yet.
What the bag? It doesn't matter right now.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 ?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.
