    TTs are not his thing but that seemed bad even by his standards

    Hard to know if it's form or the fall there with Froome.

    He'll improve as the weather warms up. His SB article suggested that the cold affects his muscles and thats why he cant preform in it. Note sure if 5 weeks in Wicklow would cure that.

    I'm not a multi Grand Tour winning cyclist, but I didn't like the look of the line Froome took into that corner on the recon run.

    He lost a lot of time in the TT. If his allergies and associated complaints don't kick in soon he could be in trouble already.

    It was hard to see unless you zoomed in on the video but the front wheel slipped when he rolled over a manhole cover. It would have been hard to avoid as he would have saw it late coming round the bend.

    I thought nk he was going down before he hit the manhole cover.....it looks more like he took a bad line through the corner and skidded on the paint from the pedestrian crossing....

    Yeah I thought he slipped on paint watched it about 10 times to try figure out where he went. Manhole cover would make more sense as had looked like he had cleared the paint by the time the front wheel went.
