Horner won with 42 years. He's got a lot of time!This small setback might shift the dream #5 to 2025...Vingo and Pogo get one more chance!
That's great Taxus4a, lucky you!I hope to be there and stay with Froomy, If you have any question for him or any other riders of the startlist, tell me.
it would be difficult, but I ll try it. They dont use to answer those kind of question even at important journalist. Last time I show Froome was Vuelta a España at Irún, with pandemia and he was one of the few was close to people. Whem he was a leader it was more difficult to get close. But they are questions very interesting to ask him if some media want.That's great Taxus4a, lucky you!
Here are a few queries you might like to try for me:
- How much does he weigh?
- Is there any fat to lose?
- Does the asthma still bother him?
Can you ask him to have his fans stop bumping this thread, since he's totally irrelevant?
I realize the futility and hypocrisy of my stance.don't click on it
I hate it when this Chris Froome thread drops down into obscurity.
I welcome anything on the magic Kenyan to bring him back up to the top - where he belongs.
UCI points are what bring you to the top, where you belong, not some silly colonial passport ..Froome should have to pay for his clothing and bicycles out of his salary, pay his own race entry and foodI hate it when this Chris Froome thread drops down into obscurity.

They would react the same way people would to hearing Mo Farah described as "a Somalian" - ie they would, in the words of Lance Armstrong: "lose their s***."I always wondered, if Froome was a black Kenyan born, SouthAfrican raised kid who then got the British passport, if people would call him Kenyan jokingly or not. and if some people did, how the reactions would be
ahaha, nice silly one. mehUCI points are what bring you to the top, where you belong, not some silly colonial passport ..Froome should have to pay for his clothing and bicycles out of his salary, pay his own race entry and food
Sadly, Chris Froome no longer appears on the start list for this race.He is back this saturday at Estella, Navarra, Spain, at GP Miguel Indurain, also known as Gran Premio de Estella.
I think leader of the team will be Woods, but they have as well Bennet and Williams They are not at Pais Vasco as most of the teams.
I hope to be there and stay with Froomy, If you have any question for him or any other riders of the startlist, tell me.
He wanst everyday on the bagoon to give everything that day, he was quite up at GC before Covid trying to get the break every mountain stage, so that 3rd at the queen stage has his merit. But it was the day he was close to the GC riders, even better than Bardet and with Enric Mas that gives me some hopes.He is washed up and has unfortunately made himself an easy target for jokes. But his palmares speak for themselves. He is easily the greatest rider of the 21st century, and post-Indurain really, and if we are only judging Grand Tour success, he may even be the best since Hinault.
He hasn't shown much since his comeback though, but his 3rd place on Alpe d'Huez in the Tour 2022 showed that his effort wasn't completely wasted.
Depends if he's winning or not..I always wondered, if Froome was a black Kenyan born, SouthAfrican raised kid who then got the British passport, if people would call him Kenyan jokingly or not. and if some people did, how the reactions would be
When most of your media just highlights the products you're promoting, it probably speaks that you aren't much of a racer anymore.He is washed up and has unfortunately made himself an easy target for jokes. But his palmares speak for themselves. He is easily the greatest rider of the 21st century, and post-Indurain really, and if we are only judging Grand Tour success, he may even be the best since Hinault.

Always getting the hard miles.Christopher Froome has been named as a starter for Israel PremierTech at the four-stage Giro d'Abruzzo starting on April 9.
He will be the ceremonial team leader at the Italian race as he has been assigned number 81.
It will be a challenging parcours for Froome with a total of 11,443 metres of climbing to overcome
