Poll: Froome's outcome in the 2020 TdF

 

[argyllflyer]

Where's DNF?

 

[Red Rick]

Voted 'winner'

The banter era will be upon us.

 

[spalco]

Where's DNF?

I agree. I think he'll try, fail and quit, although I wish him the best and hope I'm wrong.

 

[SafeBet]

I think he'll struggle early but he will stay in the race and prove decisive in a couple mountain stages later.

 

[42x16ss]

Where's DNF?

I think that's the most likely as well, but chose dns as its closest

 

[Gigs_98]

That's a really tough one. Honestly if he starts I think all of the options are almost equally likely so I just went for he won't start at all

 

[rick james]

Training ride for the vuelta

 

[repre]

He won't ride. Ineos won't allow additional drama for some filler-type rider

 

[RedheadDane]

I'm thinking more of a lower top-10.

 

[Bolder]

Super-domestique, unless he's back to 100 percent. EIther that or DNS. I don't see how he could beat out Bernal as team leader.

But tbh if he finishes with a few strong performances that would be a victory of sorts. I never subscribed to the trolls who said the severity of his crash was overestimated. The guy was out of competition for what, 9 months?

If he's back to nearly top form I could easily see him taking a stage win.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

He needs some luck and a clear run to have a chance of being competitive and if he's not competitive he won't ride the Tour. What concerns me is coming back after a break, he's going to be (even) more crash-prone and any setback caused by a crash is probably going to be one too many

 

[fiddlers]

Where's DNF?

pick the closes one to that - 'regular INEOS domestique'

 

[shalgo]

I think he will generally be a domestique but will be given a chance to go for a stage win.

 

[therealthing]

If Ineos don't think he will be fit enough to be, at the very least, a super domestique they won't bring him at all.
I'd say he will go as a domestique and then try for the Vuelta.

 

[red_flanders]

I predict he realizes in around the May timeframe that his hideous and ungainly style is a detriment to pro cycling as a whole and retires.

A bit silly from the OP not to have put this option in the poll.

I mean...obvious, right?

I voted for Winner but my critera for winning is for Froome to finish above more popular riders among fans on this forum.

edit: ie Landa, other spaniards, and any relevant Italians.

So just Landa, Mas, and Aru, then? You have a really low threshold for "winning" but he may struggle to even accomplish that.

 

[spalco]

If Froome managed to finish above riders like those in the final GC I would definitely consider that a win after what he's been through, even if he himself probably wouldn't.

 

[Finn84]

Struggles a lot and mainly helps Bernal. But in the end wins PdBF.

 

[Koronin]

I'm with others as DNF. However DNS or regular domestique for me are equal so I went with regular domestique.

What if Landa will beat him in ITT?)

 

[MartinGT]

DNF
