[aruipksni]

he is listed for Gree-Tour of Guangxi

 

[wirral]

Judging by his result on Stage 1, he is not targetting GC.

 

[Pozzovivo]

Judging by his result on Stage 1, he is not targetting GC.

He needs to finish in the top 60 of GC to get UCI points this season. Not looking good after stage 1.

he only lost 19s guys

 

[Pozzovivo]

he only lost 19s guys

The entire top 10 was within 18 seconds last year. Not looking good.

He needs to finish in the top 60 of GC to get UCI points this season. Not looking good after stage 1.

In addition, if he can finish 50th or higher, he will beat last year's tally of 8 UCI points.

Baby steps. Maybe not enough to challenge Pogi next year but in a few years who knows...

 

[wirral]

He is in the break at Guangxi. 45 km to hold on!

 

[Roku]

He was dropped by the break on 3%-4% slopes.

 

[Pozzovivo]

He was dropped by the break on 3%-4% slopes.

And lost 11:43 in the end. GC OVER. No UCI points this season unless he can get a good stage result.

Said it before, and once again. Most riders Froome's age would be happy having the form that they had in their early twenties...

Me (and other forum members) would be happy having Froome's form now!

I'd have to sacrifice goats, lots of them,to have his present form.

Team management will have one hell of a retirement party for Froome. Who knows if anyone will actually invite Froome to it.

Hopefully hard miles training will kick in next year. If not poor Chris may run out of contract before getting highly anticipated #5 at the Tour! That would be travesty.

They should do a beach party, because if they hold it atop a mountain, by the time Froome reaches it, he will only meet the cleaning crew

It appears that stage 5 is the queen's stage. I bet he is saving his bullets for that day.

I beg to differ. Is there an OTL at Guangxi?

We will find out soon.

The Queen stage! Will Froome produce "a kind of magic" and win this "bicycle race"?

Yes, no doubt about it, I can tell you as a queen stage expert.

 

[pastronef]

maybe I'm not getting the jokes, but haven't the Froome can win, or Froome GC check jokes stopped being funny, well, 2 years ago or more?
