Considering he is the current Italian Time Trial Champion - the short answer is no.

Ryo Hazuki said:froome lost little more than 1 minute over 52 km in that itt, which is very good, he also beat thomas btw. should I post some wiggins itt results of 2010 and 2009?
The Hitch said:A bit of a digression but what does it matter who he lost to and what their achievements are. yeah wiggins was a good tter in 2010. Does that mean if it had been Tony Martin rather than wiggins who won that tt froome would have been an even better tter?
By your logic Thomas Frei is a great tter because he came 2nd to cancellara in the suisse nats.

The Hitch said:no, but you can post froomes uphill results if you want.

Giro 2011 final TT was actually good GC wise, only Nibali was 8 seconds in front him. TdS 2012 wasn't that bad considering Giro in his legs and extremely hard schedule he absolved until than.theyoungest said:Kreuziger only does well in uphill TTs. On every other course he's been crap for years now.
The Hitch said:if you hate the clinic so much why dont you grow some balls and confront them there rather than complain and whisper behind their backs?

I understand if you didn't know he was the TT champ, after all you can hardly see it on his kit.
