Eh? I think most people would agree that Froome is better looking than Contador who looks like a parrot.

What's more attractive, an egg or a parrot? :D :p
What came first, the egg or the parrot? The egg *** did.

Never seen a more accurate description of Froome's looks :p

Is this picture from 2010 Tour, when he was still with Astana and wearing yellow?

Ah what a sad sight. Such a fan that you are forced to defend his unfortunate looks. As to what came first, science has proven the bird came first. :p

Whaat? He is tall, mysterious and his face is symmetrical. He is objectively better looking than Contador. Not as good looking as Bradley, but no one in the peloton is that.
Dunno bout that, here he is pictured training for Romandie

Undeniably symmetric though, that's true

I want to clarify. This is actually a made up photo of a H R Giger designed alien, photo shopped on a bike. Sky ride Pinarello bikes and that alien is not looking at his stem. So to confirm that's not egg faced Froome but a made up image.

After seeing Porte's team for the Giro.

Looks like Froome will have the following for the Tour:

Henao Poels Roche Kennaugh Thomas Stannard Eisel Knees

I thought Porte was planning to do the Tour as well

Eisel have no place in Tdf, beside being loyals of Wiggo Eisel is one of the responsibles for last years Froome's fall (several km's after stage start they weren't anywhere near his front wheel)

imo

Stannard
Rowe
Thomas
Kennaugh
Porte
Henao
Roche
and an 8th between Kiri, Suitsou, Pate and Knees

froome responds to contador

i think Froome was the first posting that type of picture, Froome 19.04 , Contador 25.04

not that it has any importance

There's no comparison between Froomey and Contador.
While Froome is an extraordinary athlete and a personality, Contador is just an athlete overhyped by the bunch of immature "fans".

The only planet upon which Froome is a personality is his home planet. Maybe he's considered better looking than Bertie on that self same planet. But here on Earth, not a chance.

But thanks for posting, Sir Fly. I was in need of a laugh. :)

Coffee, anyone?

Lol, Electress, so true :D. You can compare Froome and Alberto all you want as cyclists, every measurable aspect from climbing power to toe size or whatever, and Froome might come out winning. But when it come to look and personality...they are in different groups, Chris is in the gruppetto and about to miss the cut.

This is dumb,that was a training with Little Richie doesn't have nothing to do with Contador.There were some words attached:"Long day of climbing with Richie Porte .Good company always helps the time fly by"

They are typical for their zones, Froome could pass as ok looking in GB & SA, Contador is the typical sun tanned latino. Overall , in a miss contest, i think Contador wins :D
