Froome is suggesting he might focus on Giro (and Vuelta) instead of Tour

I believe contradicting what he said 2 years ago (when I believe he made the comment the next 7? years he would totally focus on the Tour)

60km of TT in the Giro and the desire to beat Contador might be a big factor. Good tour route for Quintana

Yep, here's a BBC link.

If Froome does that, we still won't see the anticipated clash of the 'big four'. Shame.

Agree it would be a shame. Although we'd still get a proper head to head of Froome and Contador at the Giro and then Nibali, Quintana and Contador at the Tour, still pretty decent. You'd have to think Nibali will definitely want to defend at the tour seeing as nobody has done it in years (Armstrong wins wiped out) and the route is well suited to Quintana. Contador has already said he'll give the Giro/tour double a bash.

A finish in Fougeres, right near my house in France, Rennes is not far away either. Though the Mur de Bretagne finish is near my mates house so might watch that instead of the start in Rennes.

Stage 3 looks like it could be pretty tasty though.
