    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    And so I started reading the article and my mind read the first part as: If he wins the Tour de France, Froome's expected new contract with Team Sky will make him one of the highest earns in the peloton with probable earnings of at least four million EPO. I guess I should be sad I don't...

    TdF underdog sprinters

    Regarding EBH the story is that he is a dom for Froome. He even said as much himself, he has been training for diesel efforts on the flats and hills, no acceleration or sprinting training. No wonder he keeps getting fewer wins. Such a waste.

    Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

    The context was actually the Rabobank situation, and I don't think he ment internal testing. But targeted testing is real and to me four times a week is really targeted. Eddy said that things were much better now than before... You just had to prepare properly. "the legal way" <- his words.

    Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

    I hate to do this as I am a big fan of EBH, but according to NRK radio Eddy has been tested as much as 4 times in a week. To me that implies that his values are suspicious... Agreed?

    Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

    The bolded part has to be a joke. EBH has been a stellar TT'er for many years, only recently has he been close to his earlier TT form, but he has shown a lot of potential for many years in TT's.

    2013 Critérium du Dauphiné Stage 3: Ambérieu-en-Bugey - Tarare 167 km

    EBH: Good on him. Hope they are making a plan B if Froome falters in TDF. Stage hunting with the boss.

    2013 97th Ronde van Vlaanderen, 257km, Sunday 31th March

    I have my hopes on EBH and Kristoff. As far as Sagan and endurance this year: GW and MSR were both cut short. Not saying the guy can't compete in the long classics (of course he can) but where was he in the WC?

    And they almost make it. The last litte bump may rid the sagmeister.

    Paris-Roubaix 2012 - The Queen of the Classics (257.5km)

    Actually, no there is very little footage showing Hushovd riding at all. If you watch Hushovd for 20 seconds, do you think you have seen what happened before and after that clip? No, of course you don't. And that is what I mean, there is little footage showing him charging, and there is little...

    Paris-Roubaix 2012 - The Queen of the Classics (257.5km)

    Just like every time this comes up: Where is the proof? Please link to some footage. I have tried to find it but there is nothing...

    Tour of Flanders Predictions

    Not a lot of love for EBH anymore??? I still think he may podium, at least I hope so... He was as strong as Boonen i MSR, but was also held up by the crash.

    Copenhagen 2011: Junior Women RR 70km & Men U23 RR 168km

    IMO not true. Just look at the Norwegians. And as they say: If you are stronger than the guys who beat you, you are Dumbstrong... :)
