Teams & Riders Chris Froome Discussion Thread.

[The Hitch]

Wasn't Arcalis riding everyone off his wheel. Which technically, isn't an attack either, though it is aggressive.

 

[Ripper]

Full fucking genius

 

[Pricey_sky]

Full fucking genius

Yet only 8 seconds ahead of Contador and Nibali impressive too!

I posted the same in the Bertie thread. It will be a full fucking genius TdF this year. Very believable ...

Yes I agree, the Tenerife 3 all taking it to the next level. That's all we can say here.

Froome is coming into great form at the right time. I love his attacking style, and he should light the roads on fire in July.

a full second per kilometre on Bob Jungels does indeed suggest we're back to the bad old days. Unbelievable performance.

As I said in the clinic: we have similar spreads pre-epo where the gap to #2 is bigger than the gap to beyond top 10. Indeed I even gave a siliier example.

1 second per km is not unheard of in the good old days, so this can't be proof that we are back in the bad old days ^^

Very interesting to see how often the other
contenders now check their power meters.

No, they check their stem

his attacking style? he is like a mopet with an after burner.

The man ATTACKS in the mountains. He rides a very entertaining way for those of us watching at home.

Yes, my friend, that very well may be the case.
But whatever they are looking at, the other teams
helmets are not nearly as aero when they are
looking down as SKY's shorter, bob-tailed
KASK Bambino helmets.

The new HED GT3 seems to be a fantastic front
wheel, Wiggo had great success with it in the
Tour of California as well. I wonder if any other
teams will be riding it (unbranded?) in July.

aesthetically he is a pain to watch. Well, unless you live on the isle and began to follow the sport within the last 5 years i reckon

Do you get payed for this kind of advertisement?

I hope you do.

its always painful to watch your rider loosing for his the most principal opponent and absolute antagonist,no?

still perfect training match for both. gotta be very tight next month!

 

[Der Effe]

Almost 4 years ago this 'man' finished 14th in a time trial in the Tour of Austria, almost 1.30 behind Joost Posthuma.


LOL.

Funny thing is that I don't recall that many people focusing on his style.

 

[spalco]

Btw. I find Contador's style absolutely infuriating to watch, hopping around on the pedals like a ****ing ballet dancer. I'd much rather see someone like Froome cranking his bike; at least you can see him putting an effort in.

LOL.

SKY obviously discovered some "scientific" method to transform guys like Wiggins and Froom

 

[jens_attacks]

stronger than i expected but yes i think he needs to go full throttle to impress british fans in his conflict with wiggo.tomorrow the sky train will be brutal i guess

Blasphemy!!

Very accurate description

 

[MBotero]

I don't care about his style on the bike,i like the guy because he's always attacks no matter his form.Also after watching Escartin in golden days,Froome looks pretty good to me.
