VILLARS-LES-DOMBES, France -- As the Tour de France enters the Alps on Sunday, many would expect Chris Froome to be worried of pure climber Nairo Quintana.The diminutive Colombian rider, who twice finished runner-up to Froome on the Tour, managed to gain time on the British champion in the closing stages last year, and will have plenty of opportunities in the mountains in the coming week.But Froome landed what seemed to be a decisive blow at Quintana in the hilly time trial on Friday, moving 2 minutes, 59 seconds in front of the Colombian overall.So, when asked about his main rival ahead of a tough final week of racing featuring two mountaintop finishes, Froome singled out another opponent.Now its Bauke Mollema, who is in second place, Froome said after defending his yellow jersey on Saturday during the flat stage in the Rhone valley. Ive got to keep a good eye on him, I have got to treat him as my biggest rival. He did a good time trial, and at the Ventoux he was able to sit in my wheel.Courtesy of an impressive performance in the time trial, Froome leads Mollema by 1:47 overall, with Briton Adam Yates in third place, 2:45 back.Im very happy with my time trial, I have more room to breathe, but the Tour is not over, there is a long way to go.Seventh overall last year, Mollema is a strong allrounder with excellent climbing abilities, and rides for the Trek-Segafredo team.He could be even closer to the yellow jersey if the race jury had not reinstated Froome at the top of the standings following the chaotic Mont Ventoux stage marred by a motorbike incident.Richie Porte hit a TV motorbike, and Mollema and Froome also crashed. Mollema was unscathed and crossed the finish line first, but race officials ultimately awarded Porte and Froome the same time as the Dutchman, calling the incident exceptional circumstances.Froome defended the jurys decision on Saturday.That moto caused the accident for us, it would be a shame if the race was so heavily influenced by an incident like that, he said. I feel they made the right decision.Despite Quintanas lack of impact on the race so far, Froome remains fearful of the Colombians reaction in the Alps.No doubt he is going to attack in the Alps. If Nairos history has anything to go by, we know hes very strong in the last week, he is going to be trying, Froome said. My expectations for the last week are that it will be a very testing week, probably tougher than what we had up until now.

MOSCOW -- The Russian city of St. Petersburg said Friday it has fired the general contractor building a trouble-plagued stadium which is to host World Cup matches in 2018.The stadium, provisionally called Zenit Arena, has taken almost a decade to build, prompting Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev to publicly call it disgraceful. The stadium, which is to host a semifinal match, is set to cost more than 39 billion rubles ($620 million). Until the ruble dropped sharply in value in 2014 against the backdrop of international sanctions and a low oil price, the same ruble budget was worth more than $1 billion, making it one of the most expensive soccer stadiums in history.St. Petersburg City Hall said in a statement that it is firing Transstroy, the general contractor, over the repeated delays and cost overruns. City Hall also said it has gone to the police because it has allocated $39 million for the construction which has been unaccounted for.Over the years the demands of general contractor Transstroy came down to three ideas: we wont be able to commission the stadium on time, give us more money and dont control us, Deputy Governor Igor Albin said in the statement. The general contractor has discredited itself by breaking its contract obligations and dragging its feet on crucial production and managerial decisions.Along with the missing money, the city hall says there are only 1,200 workers at the construction site, not 3,000 as the city thinks there needs to be to ccomplete the construction on time.ddddddddddddThe stadium was to be completed this year and used for the 2017 Confederations Cup.Vadim Tyulpanov, chairman of a Russian parliamentary commission overseeing the World Cup preparations, told Russian news agencies on Friday after a tour of the construction site that the city halls decision could mean that St. Petersburg would not be able to host the Confederations Cup as planned.Im not in a position to give advice to the city hall but I do think that replacing the general contractor six months before (the planned completion) is wrong, he said. If the stadium is not commissioned in December we wont be able to host the tournament in June.Tyulpanov said the stadium is 85 percent complete.State news agency Tass quoted City Hall spokesman Andrei Kibitov saying that the stadium will be built on time.We will fulfill all obligations for the construction on time, Kibitov said. St. Petersburg is getting ready to host the Confederations Cup, and the St. Petersburg government monitors this issue on a daily basis.Russian news agencies on Friday quoted Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko as saying that he trusts the city government and would not interfere.The governor has given his guarantees, training and test events are scheduled, and the Confederations Cup is set to be held in St. Petersburg, Mutko said.
