Over 27 minutes but he entered GC top120. I'm expecting big things from him soon...maybe even top100!
Head to head comparison to riders on verge of retirement..
Romain Bardet goes off the front, spends some time showing attention and respect for sport and fans. Waving, smiling pleasant exchanges with well wishing fans, Froome very well might be doing that in the extra half hour per day he takes finishing!! But he is not doing it in camera view so his fans, people who want to recognize his accomplishments don't ever get to see the fallen, failed star of yesteryear. Does he not have enough gas in the tank to go off the front for 20 minutes, half hour? And then fade into the back?
Bardet called Robert Gesink, went out with honor and class, Froome must have called Rohan Dennis for what to do in wind down to retirement
