thats true, but still it should be a big battle between Froome, TJ and Sagan for Jaune, ...Chris has couple of seconds of advantage.Also depends on number of riders, luckily only 2 stages left to crash for their domesticssultanofhyd said:b.broadhurst said:Miburo said:Martin confirmed gone, so who is the favorite now for the TTT?

WT TTTs this season:
Romandie: 1st (similar team to TDF, with Pate and Viviani instead of Koenig, Porte and Thomas)
Giro: 9th (Porte, Koenig, Sitsov and Kiryenka have TTing history, the other 5 were climbers or sprinters)
Dauphine: 6th (similar team to TDF, with Boswell and Deignan instead of Koenig, Porte and Thomas)
That would be great but I don't see it happenSeriousSam said:I hope Sky and Tinkov will somehow lose about 1:30 to Movistar and Astana.

Nope. They have been racing very smartly. Bennati and Rogers have kept Saxo very well placed all race and Thomas and Co. have also done a very good job. Astana and Movistar have had to do too much fire fighting, like in the echelons a few days ago.Gigs_98 said:That would be great but I don't see it happenSeriousSam said:I hope Sky and Tinkov will somehow lose about 1:30 to Movistar and Astana.
Velolover2 said:Sky have the least damaged team. I think they are going to take it. A guy who Dowsett is both injured and in poor shape, so don't expect Movistar to win it.
1. Sky
2. BMC
3. Movistar

What do you mean by that? Sammy is historically a very good TTer, though granted he's not as good as he used to be. He's won several, including in a GT, I recall.
