Teams & Riders Chris Froome Discussion Thread.

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Looking at the race profile there does not seem to be any proper mountain stages. It's probably an ideal route for Froome.

I do think Froome can finish this race within the time limit. Then start building towards number 5.

Aka building towards the 5th year of his Israel contract!

2 more years & he's there. What an achievement that would be.

I think with Froome, it's time to give up on him winning anything again. So, I've started to play "Better or Worse" or "Higher or Lower" for each race that he does. There are two ways to play:
1) If it's a stage race, pick another non-top tier rider and decide if Froome will be better or worse than them on each stage.
2) Just guess if Froome will finish in a higher or lower position than the previous stage.

Or he could do a Kopecky and start participating in the junior races to try and get a win.

HE WAS READY FOR THE TOUR

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

He'll be ready for the 4th Gree-Tour of Guangxi.

Froome Five - He looks to do the "Strive for Five" at least one of 5 TDFs or 5 years at IPT

Cheap shot..Jr distances are normally less so maybe if Froome got a fake birth certificate he could maybe find a team interested.. don't want to get into a battle of the sexes but my money is on Kopecky..TT,track or road bike..

 

[bigcog]

Is he done at IS ?

Fun fact: Dan Martin's father once entered a junior race in New Zealand when he was 44. He raced against young Wesley Sulzberger and Sam Bewley and finished last in GC.

Thanks to some forumites who has militantly provoked others to share their thoughts/jokes, so he could rise above Ahmed Madan level of current relevance.

Madan has 5 UCI points. Froome has 8.

Froome's position above Madan in the cycling hierarchy has been earned on the road.

What happened to Chris Froome? (In Spanish, use a translator)

¿Qué ha sido de Chris Froome? - High Cycling

"Israel signed a cyclist very much to less, to such an extent that it was hard to find him in the rankings. In 2023, without having news of a future that will have to be resolved because the British ends contract with the Israeli team, the calendar of the former champion gives the feeling of being a vacation plan by a travel agency that the program of a cycling star that has won four titles in the Tour de France. Or isn't it? If we look at it with magnifying glass, Australia, Rwanda, Switzerland or the Czech Republic have been the countries where Froome has looked dorsal."

First time posting here, Froome is not really my cup of tea, but I just can't let the Remco thread have the upper hand in number of pages

Is he doing any racing for the rest of this year?
