Re:
I anticipate two things to come: Froome will, as you say, have a little 'crisis'. Nothing too major, but just enough for 'plausibility'. He'll also have another timely mechanical. Maybe the two will co-incide.
telencefalus said:also expect this to happen at la vuelta
Froome to make look it a bit more credible will lose a minute or more due to some" bad "day , he Always did it in every grand tour , he was sick in 2015 but still outclimb everybody but Nairo quintana , are you crazy you are sick and you lose minutes not seconds ,
He did in 2013 , in this year he lose almost a minute in the parade in Paris , he was leading by 5 minutes ending to 4,20 seconds to made look credible
He did in 2016 with the formigal stage , he did in the last tour de france , he will do it in la vuelta , this tell you that HE HAS TOTAL CONTROL of the outcome of the race , Froome could lose only if sky decide to or for crash.
This coud be explain only with the existance of some help from outside Froome body
