The Moscon win has distracted attention away from Froome finishing 5 minutes down. In my opinion, he needed to show a decent level at this race and losing that amount of time on a relatively easy stage like today does not bode well for his attempts to return to his previous level.
It was widely reported he'd signed a three year deal. PCS, which is usually accurate on these things, has him on a one-year deal. Sylvan Adams is no mug, so I doubt he offered a contract which he couldn't reduce or break if performances didn't match renumeration.
