Teams & Riders Chris Froome Discussion Thread.

[Froome]

This small setback might shift the dream #5 to 2025...Vingo and Pogo get one more chance!

Horner won with 42 years. He's got a lot of time!

 

[Taxus4a]

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.

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?

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.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Is he going to do anymore ASMR videos?

Factor

 

[red_flanders]

Can you ask him to have his fans stop bumping this thread, since he's totally irrelevant?

don't click on it

don't click on it

I realize the futility and hypocrisy of my stance.

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.

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

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 food

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***."

Sadly, Chris Froome no longer appears on the start list for this race.
We will be forced to wait a little longer for his explosion back onto the World Tour scene.

 

[Taxus4a]

What a pity! I had several reason to dont go tomorrow, so I finally wont stay there.
Nor the best race for him if finally rain and some parts no goods for the wrist.

But I am worry about his next race, becouse his team is not invited to a lot of races, at least stage races, which he prefer.

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.

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.

Depends if he's winning or not..

If he wins, he's British. If he loses, he's an African. Just like Geraint. When he does well he's british, when he fails, he's a welsh sheep s******

When most of your media just highlights the products you're promoting, it probably speaks that you aren't much of a racer anymore.

 

[Izzyeviel]

I went on procyclingstats & for one glorious moment I thought Froome had won stage 3 of the Basque Country. Alas.

Always getting the hard miles.

 

[Taxus4a]

It had been nice, even historic all this monument and so on of this great generation. But again come back the most interesting part of the season, how Froome get the hard miles just in case come up a real progress and the world stop to spin...everybody is looking at how VDP win Roubaix, what id even predictable, but for experts like me 😛 just things as to try to find out how Froome really feel or how progress after to work is really exciting

The way things are going, Froome just might contest for podium at the tour
