G pulling aside at the top of the Tourmalet to allow Froome to take some KOM points got me thinking. Is Froome trying to grab Polka dot as well? If he wins two of Plateau de Beille, La Toussuire – Les Sybelles & the Alpe that's another 80-100 points and there aren't any obvious breakaway stages with HC summit finishes. He came very close two years ago and well can he grab both?
 
Surely he will not be wearing more than one, otherwise he'll find himself overheating.
 
Just the yellow. Sagan will have green. Majka will have the polka dot.
 
Yellow and Polka Dots are already his. He'll probably win 4-5 more stages in the mountains so a good shot at the green too.
Then on Alpe d'Huez he'll hit the 88 mph and travel back in time to 2010 where he'll be eligible for the white jersey.
So yeah I count 4.
 
I really don't see anyone else winning KOM with this route.

Five, the UCI implements a rule change where GC jerseys now act like boxing title belts and Froome also gets Contador's pink jersey.
 
All four of them. First, he'll reverse the earth's orbit, like superman, reverse-aging himself and taking white. Then, just for the hell of it, he's going to start mixing it up in all of the sprints. He'll take green by pipping Greipel in Paris.

Great post 😀

Though it would even out the odds

And I think KOM and Yellow are his, due to the route (as Netserk said)
 
I am sure this years sky team will even find a way for froome to get white 😀
 
He'll only be wearing one.
He might be owning polka-dot as well, but he won't wear it, for obvious reasons. 😛
And I still believe it's possible that he won't be wearing anything, other than his regular Sky-jersey of course.
 
Five.

After securing yellow and polka dot he will start to contest the sprint stages and eventually will win in Paris with two bike lenghts to Sagan, Cav and Greipel.

He will also talk to Team Sky doctors to modify his DNA in order to be eligible to the white jersey.

And he will challenge Kennaugh up Alpe d'Huez for the british champ title.
 
He'll force all the young guys to abandon in these MTF's and the sprinters will DNF due to time limits.
All that is left for Paris is him and Quintana who stops at the local monastery and becomes head monk. Froome then doesn't lift his head off focus off his stem until the Champs and then does his hilarious insect dangling celebration to win all jerseys. Tommy Voeckler arrives 10 minutes later racing in a pair of jeans and an old MJ that has more holes than fabric. He is disqualified after being counted out in an earlier mountain stage as he has not brushed his teeth in a week and his tongue smells like sewerage. Cound is awarded most combative cyclist of the Tour.
