Picture this: the 1-2-3 in the men's ITT Stefan Kung, Chris Froome and Odd Christian Eiking and the music ringing out when they step on the podium, ''everybody was Kung Froome Eiking, those kicks were .......''

And I haven't even been drinking!

If that's your own lunacy, I shall award you 100 points in ProPunditry.

If I find out that you have nicked it from somewhere/one else, you are for the chop...

It's all my own work.

That final climb looks too steep for a heavy rouleur like Martin. It's hard to know how Froomey's legs will be after the Vuelta. Can see him being in imperious form or looking thoroughly worn out. I would make Dumoulin favourite - he's done nothing but prepare for this since the Giro - and probably put Froome at joint second with Rohan Dennis.

Thoughts?

I've done a preview here in case anyone is interested (:

Froome has two Olympic Bronze medals. People tend to forget London, particularly I suppose, because it was won by Bradley Wiggins. I don't think that Froome has entered this just to go along for the ride - his form will be tested in the TTT.

 

[Milzy]

When and what channel folks??

 

[brommers]

All three mens elite events are live on BBC and Eurosport
Sunday 17th - TTT
Wednesday 20th - ITT
Sunday 24th - Road Race

Oh yeah so he has. I'll change that. Thanks for the correction, brommers..
Hope Froome can do it, as it would diversify his palmares a bit.. stop people from saying he was 'just a grand tour rider'.

"Rarely in the history of the sport have we seen a rider with such pure talent in both the fundamental disciplines of grand tour riding"

Define "rarely"...
