Seems from the result of the poll, Froome needs a better PR team.

Rooting for Contador*. I could never root for a guy who has to check a power meter every 5 seconds before doing anything.


*Not a fanboy. LaFlorecita can vouch for that.

Froome is still getting back to his form, if he were only 17 seconds behind AC in the GT, AC would be in big trouble ahead of the ITT.

I doubt Contador is anywhere near the top of his form either.

I doubt AC could beat Froome in the ITT. AC is already in top form in terms of climbing. Froome isn't, he is still recovering from an injury and it's only his first race back

Contador still will have improvement in him even though he has started the season well. There is no way he will be peaking now when the Tour is still 3 months away.

I do agree that the iTT will be the difference in the 2 riders though, I don't think there will be much in it when they climb but Froome is superior in the TT. It's been a good start for Contador though who has at least proved he can beat Froome having been destroyed by him last year.

+1. I don't get why some people think contador has peaked in terms of his cimbing just because he is climbing well now, he still can do much better.

It's vital for Contador to at least match Froome uphill. In that case when he goes on a kamikaze attack he has a chance to pull it off

You saw him ride in TA, he pulled away Nieve and Quintana

I know you're probably the same boring guy back trolling the forums again. But believe me, if you're new to cycling, and you think this is Contador at his best you are in for one hell of a surprise.

If you think that Contador is way better than Froome in Climbing and ITT, okay, it's your call.

Know one ever said that Contador is better than Froome in climbing and tting. You are the first to say that. Read what people are actually saying here before you start to post.

I "no", but the poll shows that people think Contador is better than Froome in all aspects.

Low expectations after last year.

The question is 'who will you cheer for?' Again, read things before you post.
