Seeing his "unbelievable" performance during the Giro: Froome for sure !

How? My guess is that he will win the TT of course but he will also make 2 x solo brake aways of 90 km to 150 km with a gain of more of 5 to 8 minutes on all other climbers/ riders/ Peloton on each brake away!

My favorite however (they will however only be able to fight for the podium behind Froome): M. Landa, R. Bardet & R. Porte. I will be very happy to see S. Yates also doing something nice there!

I can tell you who I'd like to win - Nibali. but it's probably gonna be Froome, if he doesn't crash or smth. SKY will have their train up all the mountains, securing time gap from TT. perhaps he'll try geronimo! again and go solo, but I'm affraid he won't even have to

I would say the same, but after seeing the route, I do believe that there is a strong possibility of that happening and I am not willing to lay off mya bike for a week! :lol: :lol:

Said that about the Tour-Vuelta last year and he was completely untouchable at both events when all the Tour riders like Aru and Bardet couldn't even hope to be competitive at the Vuelta. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if he dominated the Tour, then did the Vuelta for funsies and won, then won the Worlds.. then repeated it next year. Yes, we're at that level of unbelievability at this point.

That said, I'm rooting for Bardet or Porte. Not sure if they can pull it off but would be great to see them finally get a GT victory.
