Obviously (and very sadly) now, not going to happen. As has been the case since 2012, I am rooting for anyone but Sky. I have respect for Froome's abilities, and the way he presents himself in the media, but remain hyper-skeptical of Wiggins' (who I have no doubts is legitimately a champion track cyclist) TDF win, and am even more skeptical of Brailsford's honesty than I am of Bruyneel's.
My prediction for the surprise of the Tour this year... Mientjes.
