Teams & Riders Chris Froome Discussion Thread.

[Pozzovivo]

Did he manage to stay with the main group in the Saitama 'race'?

No, BUT HE GOT THE COMBATIVITY AWARD.

"BINI", VIDI, VICI - Critérium de Saitama 2024

He got dropped. But he did get a top 40 result. there were 44 finishers. There is no shame in being beaten by dudes like Nibali & Peerapol Chawchiangkwang.

Froome confirmed for Israel Premier Tech for 2025.

when he signed he signed until end 2025, no suprise there

indeed, the surprise will be to see him extending is contract, by the end of next year.

You can't count me as a Sky fan or a big follower of Chris Froome. Those qualifications aside he must absolutely love racing to continue 3 week races knowing his form is in the past. It's a tough row to hoe, for sure.
Or he needs more money in the worst possible way.

He's training hard for that illusive lineup at the Tour (of Rwanda).

they should send him only to X.2 races.

I'm not sure "surprise" quite covers the reaction I'd have to anyone signing him again, let alone IPT extending him.

Thinking the same thing, can only figure that there are informal agreements on pay, Froome has some marketing attraction for sure, and his performance is slightly above union minimum but if anyone is giving more than @$100,000 per year, absolutely crazy. Majority of press coverage for Froome goes in many common directions.. What is he doing? What are they doing? When will he leave? Why is he still racing despite the obvious.. He is really riding like a place holder, no expectations and everyone talks about him like he is taking up space. IPT has a weird trajectory as if winning is not all that important

 

[Savant12]

I liked his YouTube videos. But now that he has no real aspirations, there's no content for him to put out. It looks like he's only put out 3 videos this year.

I think this is the most I've ever seen him riding out of the saddle, he maybe too old now to be doing the eggbeater?

Well, something is different. Just doesn’t motor up the hill the way he used to.

What if he gets signed by the Stolen Goat Racing Team?

The dawg dropping el pistolero!

Hard work always pay off, after getting the hard miles.

The fifth is coming.

Now, this is right.

People still want to watch Mike Tyson.

Is that a question or a statement?

ouch lol

Honestly though, Mike looks CTE to my eye and shouldn't be in the ring even in an exhibition capacity. I've heard interviews with him in recent years and didn't understand this to be an issue. So no, I don't want to see him fight again and is probably more cringe than watching Froome.

I try and use punctuation to tip folks off.

Dude was a statue out there.

Funniest damn thing ever was Amy Schumer at the Charlie Sheen roast. Mike was blathering some drivel or another, and she's like "Is his interpreter here?"

I'd rather watch Tyson go out there and stagger around than watch Froome milk and bilk the cycling world. Tyson was a legit legend. Froome was an ill-legit legend.

 

[JimPanzen]

Dude is basically doing a 2 season farewell tour.
