With such tight differences, especially among the drivers in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th places overall, the Tour is decided today with the 31km individual time trial (CRI) constant which makes that the predictions are reserved, beyond the leader Thomas before in 2.05 with Dumoulin. The wait will remain as the first four runners of the race go well in this modality. Thomas is the winner of the time trial in his country this year, Dumoulin and Roglic, respectively world champion and vice-champion, and Froome, Olympic bronze.
Although the leader of the Sky is Froome, the benefits stage, when he gave 51 seconds, fall product, as well as in the mountain days, in which he does not look too strong that before, it opened the possibility to Thomas to control the distribution. From gregarious to chief.
Chris Froome accused fatigue in this Tour, something rarely seen in him. Could it be that the performance of three big in 12 months has taken its toll? He came to win the Tour and the Vuelta a España 2017 and the Giro 2018. He has not seen the combative before. Yesterday, gave up the third place in the general, will he recover?
Criticism continues for the Movistar team, one of the calls to stop the triumph of the sky with men of such size as Quintana, Landa and Valverde. "The road will decide who the team leader is," said his manager Eusebio Enzué. But no one understood the strategies of this casting.
Although he changed the schedule to get better prepared and without using the Tour too much, the Colombian was not seen as well supported in the race. Moreover, luck did not accompany him. First it was punctured in the initial phase and the fall of fraction 18 prevented it from running under equal conditions yesterday.
This Tour de France also served to see the perimeter of Egan Bernal. I can bet he'll be the champion of this race in a few years, "said Thomas about the Colombian, who ripped off the group and saved his team leaders when they found themselves against the ropes.
