you don't know michelle

I dont need to know Michelle to know the post is in poor taste. The thread is about Chris Froome.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Chris finished 68. his best result this year.
he also equaled his record from last year! 10 PCS points (0 UCI points)
what's next for him?

Epic fight vs Pogi for #5 next summer.

Well she has been known, in the past, to assertively organise Dawg's social media posts

Chris Froome doesn't want to retire from cycling. "I enjoy competing and, for now, I'll continue." He says it's not easy for him, since the age difference is very noticeable.

Does he hate Michelle?

 

[Izzyeviel]

I wouldn't call what he does 'competing'

& you know what they say: a ride a day keeps michelle away

Seems strange to throw away a podium. Froome would have a done a Horner here

i think Horner was 41 when he won, so Chris have another year, and he said he is not going to stop competing.

He remained conscious and has spoken with his entourage "before being an urgently heli-sported in the hospital, where he was immediately examined for fractures. It happened near Saint-Raphaël.

It seems to be over for Froomey's career ... hope he can recover soon. Whatever you might think of the man this is not a pleasant way to probably end his racing days.

[Devil's Elbow]

In some ways, it's fitting that a man whose final years as a cyclist were a figurative car crash sees his career ended by a literal one.

That being said, it's a shame that there will be no fitting sendoff for him, not to mention that having to recover from a major injury one more time is going to suck.

What a sad way to end his career. I hope he is not seriously injured.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Horrible news. Just gutting. Get well soon, Dawg!

 

[tonymikejoe]

Agree, this is horrible news.
Sadly, his glittering career did not end at the 2025 Vuelta, which would have been fitting.
Instead he suffers another very serious crash, sustaining major injuries.
Get well soon Chris, we all wish you a complete recovery.

 

[Didinho]

No head injury luckily. And he’s stable.
Pneumothorax, some ribs and lumbar vertebrae fracture.

The team's statement seems to suggest that a vehicle was not involved

figurative? there's the details and the St. Etienne's surgeons statements and thigh scars pictures etc etc

I've yet to check twitter, I'll find some Schadenfreude in some of the silliest comments over there, I know, I've already seen it all in these years
