He admitted that his goal for the TdF is stage hunting (same as in 2014 and 2015), and that he will lose time in the first week, in order to become far down enough in the GC and to be let go in a breakaway one day in the mountains.
As for building time losses in the GC, he is currently on his way to success But IMO it is still uncertain if he will be allowed by Tinkoff to try his chances with a breakaway (at least until Contador will have any real chances to fight for the podium and will need superdoms).
