Froome will win it if he wants to, but he will only 'ride'one stage to do that. Unless there are strong crosswinds that OPQ can exploit and gap Froome on the flat stages they don't stand a chance.

I had picked him. He developed a blue 'F' next to his name and I had a 15point gap in my team. Can't say I know much about him, other than he was French champ. Which doesn't count for much these days.

Vichot was an unknown rider chosen to be the target of Aussie cycling fans admiration about 4-5 years ago for the Tour down Under.
Apparently they pick an unlauded, unknown domestique every year and give them the fan club treatment, interviews after stages, banners and posters roadside, name on road, mobbing him at the end of the stage. Little did they know they'd chosen a shit hot rider who was just very young and starting out his career. He's very, very good.
