Yes and no...i think the Tour de France organisers are keen to see a competitive race and are likely to design a course that helps Froome's competitors. Only problem is that Froome now looks like he's got less weak points than in years previously (although I'd argue that it's possibly descents despite his run on the Col de Peyresourde)

I agree - still think he is a mediocre descender and only picked up that win because no-one else wanted to commit to the chase.
If I was setting a route to test Froome I would probably limit it to one shorter TT, throw in a cobbled stage, add loads of technical descending and have more of those short, mountain packed stages where the race is tougher to control.

I think until we know the route of next year's Tour, any talk of who could beat Froome is moot.
