I have just watched the stage, Froome for sprinting at the intermediate spring for a team mate just before the last climb, He was usually working pulling his mates at the front. He was at the back after the intermediate sping, when attacks staarted on the front, but he dinished on the bunch.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.
my impression of TON so far that it was like a procession, or even a criterium, intended for UNO-X and Kristof to win all stages. IPT just sent van Ashbrook to freelance for a podium place.I have just watched the stage, Froome for sprinting at the intermediate spring for a team mate just before the last climb, He was usually working pulling his mates at the front.

Today I didnt watch still the stage, but I imagine the same, working for his team mates, but with the staerrato and some step climbs at the end, it was more selective and he lost time. He is here to help.
Tomorrow we will se better how he is, but when you have an sprinter and 1 or 2 mens for FC, you have to work, becouse he is not a rider dor this kind of races, ec vept if he gut his top shape before the crash.
Maybe Ineos can pick him back up. He would fit in well with the current GC squad.Bad news Chris Froome fans. He will not be racing at the upcoming Vuelta.
However, he is determined to see out his contract and compete throughout 2025, when he aims for one more win and a Tour de France appearance.
Froome is even open to offers if another team wants to contract him for 2026.
The Lure of the Tour: Chris Froome Names Two Clear Goals for the End of His Career
After a number of quiet seasons, four-time Tour de France winner Froome wants to say farewell on a high note.velo.outsideonline.com
The big “getting the gang back together one last time”-movie of 2026Maybe Ineos can pick him back up. He would fit in well with the current GC squad.
IPT are doing the Utsunomiya Japan Cup Road Race race in japan by the end of the year, perhaps it is time for Chris to air the old costumes ?No more racing this season? Would be nice if he showed up at Tour of Britain or something. It's a bit odd not to go racing at all even if his form is not at the top right now.
I see what you did there.So what happened to the dawg that let to this long break from racing? Did he get eaten?
He was putting in the hard miles.So what happened to the dawg that let to this long break from racing? Did he get eaten?
He is eating the money of sylver adams.So what happened to the dawg that let to this long break from racing? Did he get eaten?
Froome season was always about doing the TDF, but sometimes he was forced to do a vuelta, when he crushed, or the giro for loads of money, so he never really raced in this time of the season.He is eating the money of sylver adams.
Contrary to reports that Chris Froome's season is over, it seems he is slated to participate in the six-stage Tour of Croatia (known as the CRO race) starting on October 1.
I think it will be the first time Froome has ever started this particular event.
He will not be tested by a time trial, just regular stages between 119km and 167km.
It would be a rather pointless: he was (per PCS) removed from the startlist on 20th Sept.Anyone on Froome Watch for this race?
Too many comments about genocide for his liking?Why did Froomie stop his Youtube channel? No videos for a year except two commercials. I think he received a lot of rude feedback on the "I was ready for the Tour" video, but quite rare to just stop at that point. Anyone know what happened?
The comments were mostly aimed at his poor performance the last years. Saying he was delusional to think they would select him for the Tour.Too many comments about genocide for his liking?
