4. 00:18 SOUNDBITE: (French) Chris Froome, Team Sky:
(on four cyclists being within 29 seconds of him):
"Yes, you're right this is true, it's still very open in the main field. There are still two difficult stages in the mountains and obviously the time trial in Marseille. So there are still three days which make it very difficult for the leaders. "
5. 00:51 Wide shot Froome in mixed zone
6. 00:57 SOUNDBITE: (French) Chris Froome, Team Sky:
(Q: What will be your strategy in this last week? Attack or wait?)
"In the Pyrenees, I had a very difficult day and I lost a little bit of time. So, we need to use the team. We already saw that I have the best team-mates. We're the best team in this Tour de France. They have already done an amazing job so far, they kept this yellow jersey for me. Yesterday when I had a problem with my bike, they did a very good job. It's because of them I'm still in yellow. "

9. 01:56 SOUNDBITE: (English) Chris Froome, Team Sky:
(Q: Which of your rivals do you fear the most?)
"Each rival presents different threats.If you look at Fabio Aru, he won the first mountain top finish on La Planche des Belles Filles. He perhaps didn't have such a good day a couple of days ago. But he's been strong in the third week before so we'll have to wait and see how he goes. Romain Bardet has always been strong in the last week of a grand tour. He's also got the team to back him up. As we saw yesterday he put me under a lot of pressure. We really had to use the whole team to control that situation. Rigoberto Uran, maybe more of the dark horse who has slips under the radar a little bit. He's probably the strongest time triallist of this group of GT riders. With Marseille in mind, he's a big threat as well."

11. 03:16 SOUNDBITE: (English) Chris Froome, Team Sky:
(Q: How much time can you lose in the Alps ahead of the time trial in Marseille? )
"I'm certainly not going to give any seconds away for free. As I had a bad day in the Pyrenees, it could be the case again in the Alps. I'm feeling better and better as the race goes on. These last few days, even with yesterday's stage, I felt pretty good yesterday. Hopefully that's a sign of timing things right and coming into the tour really fresh. I hope this third week I'll be at my best."
