Froome is just a better time trialist, its not so weird, no need to put him on pedastal just because he did what was expected of him.
8 seconds is nothing, not even 1 second pr. km, and you have no idea with which effort they went into it, AC already said before the start he wouldnt take any risks down the technical descent. Froome obviously rode full gas all the way.
With the splits so close it seems Froome took a few more risks on the downhill whereas Contador and Nibali played it safe. Don't think there would have been a lot in it otherwise maybe 2-3 secs
