Teams & Riders Chris Froome Discussion Thread.

[Jelantik]

This part is precious:


Even though the previous paragraph gives us this gem:

Yeah, you tell 'em Brad. About that time trial. Because everyone had forgotten, ya know, about that time trial.

Closed doors indeed.

yup. wiggins will smack around uran

 

[airstream]

Looks like the forum includes many well prepared DS's. There is extensive racing experience in their bags. Strange no one hired them so far. Though, I don't know why. These bless the mark tacticians сan reason only after the event.

 

[Cimber]

We just need Michelle's response, hope it's good.

Oh ye am looking forward to the crazy cat lady going beserk again. It should be really good

Yes, it's almost as if we were watching the race and have an understanding of the sport.

No just people with common sense.

Brailafords a track man.

He doesn't understand the road.

It's not hard to see Sky's tactics are terrible.

Lets be fair though, they haven't done bad have they?

 

[hrotha]

I am stunned by his transformation..
almost everyone else seems to be too.

it's almost like brainwashing

Amirite.

Come back Sean we miss you!!!!

Sigh.

Another cheap shot at Walsh. I never knew you were going to do that.

Get over it.

 

[airstream]

Worse.

Jrod is a very good descender. Alberto isn't the best (but more than decent) but compensates with a lot of panache.

Froome is not as bad as Wiggo and Schleck, but not that much better.

Proof? Don't we confuse reality and wishes, having total absense of edge in climbing and tt'ing?

 

[IndianCyclist]

Are you crazy? The train WORKED! It did shed off the GC contenders!! It's just he is in the same color jersey as the train

Wiggins was a GC contender and it definitely shed him

Do you really admit that if the plan you presented had been perfect, they would not have used that? Even me, the man who is million light years away from pro racing like almost anyone on here, can reply to your plan with at least 10 'but'.

[Heckler]

This is a better representation of Froome's career:

Chris Froome’s career so far has not been gone according to the usual scripts. He was already a promising young rider when he learned, in adolescence, that the champions of each cycling country get to wear a special jersey made up in their national colours. Precocious, he telephoned the Kenyan national cycling authorities.

"When are the Kenyan championships?"
"There aren't any."
"How do I get to wear the national champion's jersey?"
The question was greeted with a laugh.
"I tell you what, if you design the jersey, and then sew it together yourself, you can be the national champion."

He did.

Froome has been helping to design Pinarello's newest model.

 

[Mr. McQ]

While I enjoy watching Froomie ride, he better be prepared to step aside for SBW at the tour de france.

Troll attempt too obvious .

 

[airstream]

Aha. Another genial logical line. Let Wiggins confuse Sky in the Tour so that neither Wiggins nor Froome will be able to win. Very predictable.

As long as Froome is the strongest in July then he has nothing to worry about.

 

[Miburo]

It will still cause some stress (look at tour 2009) And if Contador finds back his old shape. And if there's a super purito and valverde.

Froome can really miss Wiggins causing trouble and i'm sure he will. Even if there's nothing the media will cause it.

Must be annoying for froome, especially the first week. Who will wear the yellow jersery after the TTT?

Now that will be interesting

and Quintana

I wonder how well Sky will be prepared in July...Kiri,Lopez and Richie ****** Porte were incredibly spend after spring campaign.
What about Thomas,Eisel,EBH?Are they going to be useful in mountains?

They were a bit below their best at Romandie so we'll see what they're like at the Dauphine. Thomas could be a big surprise at the Tour in terms of his climbing (he said at the start of the season he wants to fill the Mick Rogers role). EBH is likely to be very similar to last year. Eisel obviously won't be useful in the mountains. They'll take him and probably Stannard too mainly to look after Froome in the first week which seems to get more important every year.

The big question mark is over Wiggins' participation. Brailsford said Henao would ride if Wiggins doesn't go.

 

[Cimber]

Agree but at least we can have some fun entertainment till the first MTT. Oh and maybe the added spice of Froome getting the Jersey on the first MTF and then Wiggo taking it back on the ITT. Would be fun eventhough Froome will win in the end

Troll attempt too obvious .

Why is it trolling when someone says something you do not agree with

Is it trolling to simply say the Knight will own the pawn

SBW was knighted because of character, not just fitness

The character he showed in his profane rant to the media? BW was knighted because he brought in a haul of gold medals. You don't call a bronze medalist Sir.
