Any news on the Dawg's first race of 2024? Can't wait until the comeback tour revs up.

@Froome whats going on?!?

It's rumored that Froome has been attending a Starbucks barista academy in case disc brakes or getting a bike fit fall through

@Froome whats going on?!?

Froomey is playing the long game; He is planning to beat Chris Horner as the oldest GT winner

Getting the hard miles before winning the fifth Tour de france.

 

[Froome]

Froome is alive, and live on instagram. He is getting the hard miles on BKOOL.

Getting the hard miles before winning the fifth Tour de france.

Yup. This year is the best chance for Froomey. By July he will have ridden enough hard miles to finally peak plus Teddy will be tired after the Giro. It takes one unlucky moment for the Skeletor and history will be made!

It's almost time for his big race, the Tour of Rwanda.

I think he should start working with a different nutritionist if he wants to win races again.

Chris is doing the Pogacar/VIngegaard schedule this year and starting his season late

I still has faith on him, but I admit I enjoy the kind of jokes people makes about all around him these years...It iss quite funny and I admit he deserves a little... anyway, I cant wait to see him riding at Rwanda, even if his paper is similar to last year. But I hope a top 20 at least this year.

It's just some jokes, i would love that he could really finish his career with at least a victory in a stage of the Tour de France.

He got dropped by his teammates in the TTT. Finished 5:21 behind them. Means he was the slowest athlete of all in a very weak field. He only gets worse. Had this one good moment at the Tour where he got 3rd at the stage. But now his level is already so far off that there can be no recovery.

Honestly it’s tough to see. He should have retired after the crash or at least after that Tour. In a different world, he could have won on the Alpe then retired, similar to Contador and Angliru. This is just like watching a slow motion train wreck and he’s choosing not to hop off. Surely it can’t just be the money. Top athletes always give up money when they retire.

 

[Izzyeviel]

WTF. surely he had a crash right? right?

Good lord. There's copium & then theres whatever the hell this is https://www.globalcyclingnetwork.co...ith-israel-premier-tech-in-first-race-of-2024

Apparently the TTT don't count for GC. So lets hope for his sake he just took a ten mile TT very casually.

 

[rallybanana]

I wonder has anyone ever been on the winning team at a TTT but at the same time finished last individually? Froome came close to achieving it today. Simultaneously his best result and his worst result since his comeback.

He's been a complete fraud the entire time he's been in the public eye. This is who he is. It's 100% the money, but it's enabled by a total lack of scruples.

Oddly though. I like Froome a lot more now than I did when he was conquering everything. He comes off humbled by his lack of results. And hey, Israel PT is throwing money at him to humiliate himself. So it ain’t all him

 

[Kazistuta]

You just can't make these things up.

If there's no good reason for his time deficit (and let's face it - if there was, surely he would have stated so on SoMe by now), it's beyond hilarious.

 

[Sybrand]

He finished in the first group of 56 riders today with no time loss. Comeback is on.

 

[Lequack]

The hard miles have paid off.

 

[SHAD0W93]

Here before there’s talk of Froome being the reason they almost won yesterday and won today.

 

[Savant12]

Froome is nailed on for a solid Top 50.

2004 Tour de France saw US Postal winning TTT. Benjamin Noval got dropped and was last one who got credited with a time, however there was Eddy Seigneur who finished outside the time limit.

“The final 10 kilometers featured smaller climbs, but it was still hilly. There were a lot of attacks – my teammates Moritz, Chris, and Joe did a really great job to keep it all together for the final kilometer where I was sitting in a good position.

“Chris was wonderful – he closed down the breakaway in the final kilometers, giving me the chance to win. He also helped me to my first victory in the Tour of Slovakia, now, he’s done it for me again. Amazing!
