I think of all the competitors Porte has the best chance of beating Froome. BMC is really strong in the TTT and if they and Sky put 1 minute or so on everyone else on stage 3 then we may see Porte and Froome marking each other for the rest of the race with Quintana and Nibali trying to escape on the mountain stages. It may come down to a Porte/Froome ITT battle at that stage.

Movistar will have an interesting decision to make mid way through the mountains if their 3 stars are all still there.

Are they assuming Quintana is their true shot to win?

I suppose it is known at this point that Teejay just doesn't have that extra gear that it takes to stay with the top guys in the world when he needs to, so what is his best role going forward? Can he and Porte work together and make a run at it?

btw, his TT at tour of california was awesome.
