VILLARS-LES-DOMBES, France (Reuters) - Having taken time off his rivals on all terrains, Chris Froome is waiting for Nairo Quintana to deliver on his promise that he would launch an attack in the third week of the Tour de France.

Briton Froome, who increased his overall lead when he took second place in Friday's individual time trial, is in a strong position ahead of a gruelling third week in the Alps.
