Looking at the results one would think this gave them an advantage.
No. Sky just had their form on point. These "marginal gains" make maybe 1 or 2 seconds over 20km.

I think so.
IF Froome wins this year, ASO should just not invite Sky from next year to keep competition up. |

Is it possible Sky could keep the jersey all 21 stages? Dont know the route very well, and has one team every held the jersey for all the stages before? |

Alright, I am here just to quickly justify why Porte's time maybe wasn't so bad as expected (being a fan of Richie, I am just happy he is still upright and racing on).
First of all, Porte clearly took the stage very carefully slowing right down for most of the corners and even after the stage he states that he was nervous and didn't want to risk anything which he didn't.
As well as this, Richie has a history of not being able to perform in rainy TT's and this was no exception. By Richie's normal rainy TT standards, this wasn't a bad time at all being one of the better ones in fact.
With these contributing factors, Richie nearly exceeded my own expectations (especially after valv's crash) considering the weather he was racing in.
The race is definitely not all over and someday Froome's risk-taking will come back to bite him, some day.... |

Fucks sake. Contador, harder, Chaves & Are in my Velogames team. That's the end of that one then.

Gg Froome, 4th time Tour victory. Must be nice.
It's telling really if Reto Hollenstein and Timo Roosen go faster than Porte, Contador, Quintana etc

Yeah, could have been worse I suppose.

Apart from-40s for Froome they are mostly within a couple of seconds of each other...mostly.
