In the Tour de France 2017 presentation, race director Christian Prudhomme says that he want to have the control in the tour and finish with the Team Sky reign. But the route for the Tour de France 2017 edition is still ideal for Chris Froome. The 2017 Tour de France will contain fewer but steeper climbs. In 2017 there will be only 23 mountains, 6 less than 2016, for be much difficult the superiority in mountains by Team Sky. The idea is that the teams who are in better way can eliminate Froome's gregarious. But if you remember La Vuelta a España 2016, you can see that in mountain, Froome only have one gregarius, and he finished second because of a bad day. This bad day was in a short stage, where Alberto Contador attacks, and Froome lose 2 minutes. For this reason the Tour included a short stage. But Froome stills the favourite. This is not to say the likes of Quintana, Porte and Contador should be dispirited by the Tour route. But Froome remains the stand-out favourite and it will take an almighty performance to deny him a fourth yellow jersey.
In my opinion Froome is the best rider in this moment, and is difficult to win he iun a mountain stage. For eliminat Froome, the organization would have do is eliminate mountains, and that is impossible.
