UCI Road World Championships Bergen 2017 **No Spoilers Now**

Well agree to disagree,I think he could probably be included on his recent form alone,forget about the few grand tours he's rode and won.He might not even compete in the road race,but in a individual TT he'd get my pick.

He got beaten by Thomas at the TdF though.

Froome really comes into his own on the longer TTs around the 40km mark.

It was pissing it down,he'd already know of the crashes that went before him.What was it 11/14 seconds to geraint ? He won't have been bothered to much to come 2nd....
To not think Froome is one of the best TTs out there ? Really...

Well, how many TT championships has he won?

He might be good in a TT in the third week of a race, but that's not the world's.

I didn't say he wasn't but you'd have to put Thomas and Cummings as the first two on the list and i believe our list is only two long.

Froome, Alex Dowsett would be our 2 best ITTers over WC distance in my opinion.

My money is on that ex skier chap for the TT overall.

Men's TT

Dowsett wasn't shortlisted because of the nature of the course.

I think we might see some riders changing bikes for the final climb.

Roglic

Going by how strongly that Froome has ridden the final days of the Vuelta, it is likely that he will do the TTT for Sky and the ITT.

Will the TT course suit Rohan Dennis?

Not so sure about the final climb.

Mark Christian

Who is he related to at British Cycling?

Dumoulin or Froome will win the TT
