You called me on one recently...posts like yours can be misconstrued...

We all have to be careful, bring to the Clinic your Clinic thoughts. Tough but do-able. :)

Mod hat on:

I just deleted a load of posts that were either clinic related or quoted a clinic related post. We know it’s hard but please avoid clinic talk in this section of the forum.

Cheers,

I like froome and I think he would be much more likeable if he wasn't in team sky.

In one or two years time you might get your wish. It would be interesting to see how he went, assuming age hasn't diminished him too much.

It will be interesting to see who Froome rides for in 2018 - My guess is one of Dimension Data,Trek Segafreddo or maybe Katusha.

For what I saw on strava, I think he will destroy everyone in ruta del sol.

Including himself :lol: Joke aside, I'm not certain he'll ride until I see him at the start line. UCI will pressure them hard these days, everything is possible.

Will he keep a low profile (not going for the win) or will he smash the rest like he usually do? That is the most interesting question.

Winning isn't the most important. The reaction from the rest of the peloton, the spectators, the cycling world is probably his main concern.

You realize there are bigger victories than MTF records. If I were in his place, I'd use this race to talk to people.

And when did I say anything like that?


I don’t think froome will take the start line, something will happen between now and then.

But it's a good question. How is he going to tackle this race? The race itself isn't a big deal.. it's not even WT. But building trust and a better image is.

It adds another dimension to the race. To cycling in general. There are more layers to cycling than just riding on your bike.

I can see this being the only race he enters this year.
