    Teams & Riders Chris Froome Discussion Thread.

    Lance Armstrong said the same thing on his podcast, that no rider has returned from such a femur fracture to their best form. As I understand it the bone snapped in two and tore through Froome's thigh muscles and the skin, requiring a metal rod to hold the bone together for the rest of his life...

    When is the smackdown on Chris Horner?

    Chris revealed today he was due a $150,000 bonus if he won the 2012 Tour of California while riding for RadioShack. Unfortunately for him he finished 8th - 2mins 49secs behind winner Robert Gesink. He claimed the biggest reason for failing to challenge was losing 2mins 11secs to Gesink on a...

    He is going to lose massive amounts of time in the TT tomorrow. Sadly, Froome has lost his power.

    Breaking News: Chris Froome did stay with the peloton of main favourites until approximately 20k to go in today's Stage 3 of the Tour of Romandie. However, when they began climbing the 5% Cat. 3 Dompierre he was quickly spat out the back.

    Teams & Riders Chris Froome Discussion Thread.

    In yesterday's stage Chris Froome did briefly flash on the front of the peloton as Israel got organised on the right side of the road, within (I think) the last 20kms. He even got a shout out on the Eurosport commentary. Then the peloton hit a steep little climb, the power went onto the pedals...

    Chris. I would avoid tweeting stuff like this. It's getting your fans fired up and anticipating a return to glories. View: https://twitter.com/chrisfroome/status/1518949994329481219

    No power. What happened to: "We knew he had a big engine?" Froome. You are absolutely miles away.

    Remember Chris Froome was taken out at 70km on a descent yesterday so was probably still pretty sore today. The race lost a huge chunk of the peloton via abandonments and time limits in atrocious conditions. Bravo to Froome for not packing it in when so many others did. He was simply getting in...

    Chris Froome did ride the Tour of the Alps in 2021, finishing 93rd. He is currently sitting in 91st place. Clear signs of the improvements he keeps talking about.

    Another tweet from Israel and everything seems to have gone wrong. It seems the group has split and an elite ten riders have gone over the top. Chris Froome can't be one of them because the team aren't even bothering to name him in their latest tweet.

    Teams & Riders Chris Froome Discussion Thread.

    Israel are very excited about Chris Froome so far today. They have just tweeted that Chris and one other rider from their team are the only survivors in an elite group that tackled the immediate Cat 2 climb. Apparently Chris is just one of 20 riders in the entire field, according to them, strong...

    Okay, I've just watched the highlights and we had the remarkable sight of Chris Froome barely clinging onto the rear of the peloton as if there was an invisible rider between him and the last cyclist in the bunch. To be fair he held this position for km after km and was still there with at least...
