Teams & Riders Chris Froome Discussion Thread.

5 w/kg for a few minutes and then almost stopping. Legendary pull.

Was enough to win the Tour back in the day.

Compared to the current heroes Froomey looked like an amateur.

From the Pogacar thread:

Tadej has now won more Tours than anyone that still rides a bike professionally.

Am I sensing a slight dig?
Implying he's not actually riding a bike professionally these days... ?

Either that or they've just forgotten that he's technically still an active rider, which I find myself doing on a regular basis!

TBF, he's not doing much to remind people.

In action in Poland.

Getting ready for the Vuelta again!

 

[tonymikejoe]

Today, Chris Froome moved up a whopping 51 places in the Tour de Pologne.
He finished 64th on the day, only 1min57sec behind the winner of hilly Stage Two.

Probably his best performance this season?

Couldn't even win the womens tour these days with that

Ready for la vuelta! Epic GC comeback

Remember that tour of pologne was his prep race before his big breakthrough 2nd (1st) place in la vuelta in 2011! 85 GC in that edition - way ahead of schedule now.

If I was Vingegaard - I'd be s**** myself right now.

 

[Vinther1991]

He is starting to look like a rider who could make it to the Vuelta. Good to see. At least he gets a farewell grand tour, even if a personal result is unthinkable.

 

[aruipksni]

5 years hitting the Silvan Adamas jackpot

He's already scared Pogacar away!

It's an insult. Froomey goes to a proper team next year (not the one that sabotages its own star) and you will see how the Tour goes. It should be a nice battle for #5 vs Pogi!

Wise man. Would be cleaned up by the washing machine style - O-symetric chainring attack. Let's go FROOOMIE.

Pathological liar lying pathologically. I am shocked I tell you.

my concern is that he's peaking too soon.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Oh no!
First he builds up all our hopes
then he goes and loses 5:34 today.

Just trolling us

Chris won't do anything more for his *** team. They don't deserve him after those betrayals. Following Thomas' departure Ineos will sign him again to have a proper shot at the Tour. Pogi vs Froomey for #5, an epic battle for joining the legends. Can't wait to it!

Good to see Chris performing respectably today in Poland on a tough stage. Glad to see him not languishing in the gruppetto.
Well done Chris.
