Guys? Like in more than one? Because I only saw Tiberi back there and he stopped at one point to kick a cat.He literally outclimbed guys who top tenned the Giro. The Giro field wasn't that weak...
Dude is purposely shipping time since 2019.Purposely shipping time today so he will be allowed to get into the break for the queen stage? I noticed only two riders finished slower.
One has to have form to make it into a break.Good, now he can join tomorrow's break.
According to Froome himself that's exactly what he intends to do this week.One has to have form to make it into a break.
Froome is in his Tien Shinhan arc.According to Froome himself that's exactly what he intends to do this week.
"I’m going to try to get up the road and show myself while building my form and finding some race intensity.”
For how many years has Chris been "building form?"
Waiting for last stages of the raceSo on paper Froome is a Swiss Army knife, he has tons of experience, climbing credentials and individual time trial abilities. So why the holding him back?.
If you want to do something for Froome and Israel Premier, send him, just keep having him launch bombs until he gets in one of these obvious small breaks.
Today no worry riders allowed to get at@5 minutes before any action and that was for the stage, not GC. I personally would interested to see if Froome could physically force something that would command respect or if he is really written off as highly paid ancient history and nobody to worry about.
Do alarm bells go off if Froome gets in a breakaway or do people keep hitting the snooze button for additional years until he retires or announces some Nairobi development deal with a big food company or African based bank or mineral concern.
What are they waiting for?
“Chris broke his wrist in Tirreno-Adriatico and that slowed his progression.
Given his recent form over the past few years no alarm bells would go off anywhere with froome in a break, and his fellow riders in the break would likely focus on others regarding winning the stage as well.So on paper Froome is a Swiss Army knife, he has tons of experience, climbing credentials and individual time trial abilities.

Today as he absolutely popped going up the last climb I hope he had a vision.. of playing golf or going on Dancing with the Stars, the guy is overFroome has been a counterfeit *** his whole career. IPT needs to just release his ass. Nobody will miss him.
However dead the joke is, it'll still be more entertaining than the fight for the yellow jerseyAm I the only one really hoping he will do the Tour? There is literally no result he could achieve that wouldn't lead to very entertaining responses by this thread.

Not to wish harm on someone but can you imagine the meltdown if he crashed out Pogacar or RoglicAm I the only one really hoping he will do the Tour? There is literally no result he could achieve that wouldn't lead to very entertaining responses by this thread.

Hmmm, yes. "Technical issues". Like him (and the team) just discovering, after years of riding his bike for IPT, that his saddle height was like an inch different than it was at Sky.IIRC last year technical issues with his bike prevented him from showing his true form to the team and resulted in him missing the Tour. Hopefully no external factors will stand on his way this time: there are 3 mountain stages to show off his form in Dauphine!
Seems to have made it worse.Weirdly, fixing this "technical issue" didn't fix his performances.
Why do you bring common sense and realism into this? We were having a good time. The technical issues are behind him now, and he's obviously a shoe-in on the team. Aint nobody showing any signs on form on that team anyways, especially not in Dauphine.Hmmm, yes. "Technical issues".

Which, even given the history of BS he spewed while at Sky, was honestly a new low, even for a pathological liar like Froome.
