Should be great fun to watch, can’t wait to see what Froome can do when they let him off the lead in the mountains.
Mehhh, I think he’ll struggle, but needs enough rope to hang himself to prove it.
The few times he showed he could ride away from Wiggins (the Go/Slow incident where he didn’t drop Nibali, and the daydreaming incident after they did), he’d been dropped on earlier climbs and had to be nursed back only to miraculously recover.
He ducked out of the road race once it was clear they weren’t winning.
The cynic in me thinks all those events were him ditching team orders to help others (Wiggo or Cav) in order to conserve energy for an attach on Wiggins later in the stage or the Time trial respectively.
I’d like him to win, and I’d like him to do it graciously (possibly with Wiggins helping like sprinting team mates often do as re-payment), but on the evidence so far I don’t think it’s going to happen, either winning or graciously.
