I am aware Froome's wife has made some social media comments that would trigger your average Guardian journalist. Is this related somehow? I suspect so.

Eric Cartman would make a more genuine & convincing ambassador for 'world peace' than Chris Froome.
And that's saying something.
And that's saying something.
The guy from the [Redacted] team (the name of which has been conspicuously removed from the team jersey) "riding for peace" without so much as mentioning a single ongoing war
That inhaler would be so full of carbon monoxide his bike would have an exhaust pipe.
I wonder what he felt in that moment, kinda bizzare.
Good that he is still around… I hope he‘ll ride as a pro as long as possible, and that we‘ll see much of him still in future. His positive attitude is great, he makes the world brighter. Great athlete and person…
He already has ridden as a pro longer than possible.
Almost as funny as when Nadal was denied access in Paris of all places to the locker room (the 1000 tournament, though, not Roland Garros).
It also happened to him at Australian Open where there was a big poster of him on the wall right next to the door.

As I thought he will be at Artic Race of Norway.
4 stages,2 first hilly but with possible sprint, and the last ones finishing at a climb, the last one step and short and the 3rd, more than 6 Km at more than 6.
Hope to see him showing a decent shape here and going to La Vuelta

The trouble is Chris Froome is absolutely horrible as soon as the road has the smallest of inclines.
We are talking about a 7-time GT champion. He doesn't suck uphill, he just needs more hard miles in his legs. Maybe Vuelta will finally be his time to shine, if his team doesn't f**k up.
How is possible he was third his last Tour, best race of the world, after pass Galibier, Croix de Fer and Alp Huez, Are they small inclines?
Chris Froome was not embarrassed today in Stage One of the Arctic Race of Norway.
A 155km stage with a Category Two 8.5km climb at 3.5% less than 20k from the finish line had the potential to distance the veteran.
However, he finished safely in the main peloton in 85th position on the day and like the majority of the field finds himself just 10secs down on race leader Alexander Kristoff.

A glorious effort in the face of strong adversity to cling on to the tail end of the peloton over that beastly climb, while w/kg monsters Pellaud and Colnaghi were piling on the pressure. Shoulders rocking and elbows flaring. But the great man made it!
well the TON , was running at the same pace, the ladies Olympics race was, so no real surprise, i bet the ladies, that finished at the front (specially the American girl) , could have finished with them together.
You have one year to find a new rider so you can still write your *** jokes, he announced before the start of the Norway race that 2025 will be his last season
