i wonder if Froome can break is record this year or have a perfect 0 point season (PCS)?

Did you mean 0 UCI points or PCS points? If he enters and finishes a WT stage race, he will get 5 PCS points for finishing, while you need to finish in the top 60(!) in GC to obtain UCI points.

It sounds achievable if he corrects the left-right power imbalance, adjusts his bike setup, loose a few kg's, clears the Bilharzia, dusts off the cobwebs and gets that racing pace back ++(add your favorite excuse).

Edit: ffs Pastronef ruined my big spiel

Now it's all about getting the hard miles before the big goal in July.

 

[MJR]

Another Sagan Special for the year - a good salary for zero results.

Or the turd will sink further into the septic system.

The dawg already getting the hard miles in Monte Teide before the main goal in July.

Hard work pays off.

 

[tonymikejoe]

I am as eager as Froome is to "get stuck back into the racing," however after this early-season injury setback we should not put too much pressure on him to win Tour number five.
Maybe, best to leave it until 2026.

Chris Froome's season re-start begins today with the Tour of the Alps and yes, I can confirm he is in the race.
There is currently 20.3k to go in climbing conditions and 10 mins ago on the live chat a viewer announced they saw a flash of Chris Froome near the front 'getting in the hard yards'.
I personally have not spotted him yet, but any sighting is encouraging.

He came from a training camp where he also did a lot of hard miles. Let's see how it goes in this race. The main goal in this race is not the final GC classification, but getting the miles in his legs before the main goal in July.

All into the right direction.

Altitude training camp- Tour of Alps- Altitude training camp May-Dauphine- final attitude training camp in June, and then the main goal in July.

Is " hard yards" not a rugby or American football term? If Froome is gone from hard miles to hard yards that is not a good sign.
