Teams & Riders Chris Froome Discussion Thread.

[bigcog]

Or conversely he's getting his excuse in early as he's worried Froome can beat him at the TDF

 

[sir fly]

Maybe Froome should have "chased" a bit harder, when he was getting dropped by Contador at the Vuelta. Contador crossed Froome off of his list and now he's going after Nibali on his home turf.

He, obviously, didn't have to. Even this was scary enough to chase away little Spaniard to the Giro.
And now, Contador's fans are hiding their disappointment and anxiety behind the fake excitement and hope about the double (treble), 'cause they know the attempt will end either by a colossal failure or retirement.

What a tremendously cheerful outlook you seem to have.

Froome cuts interview for more important matters like: chasing baboons out of your own home.

Gotta love some things in Afrika

It's a dangerous place for bunnies I hear

 

[Big Doopie]

...'cause they know the attempt will end either by a colossal failure or retirement.

or a long overdue life-ban.

 

[sir fly]

or a long overdue life-ban.

It'd send him to the retirement, wouldn't it?

Lmao Nice one.

Looks like Froome's childish refusal to ride with Wiggins has cost Sky second place in the team time trial today. What a great bloke and a wonderful role model he is.

Actually he didn't look too hot in La Vuelta TT.But maybe he would at least have finished with them increasing their chances for a medal.

I agree. The likes of Siutsou, Kiryienka and Cataldo deserved better after their efforts in the Vuelta for him. No idea why Thomas or Puccio were in the team.

Do you have a source for this? He has already committed his support for Swift in the road race so I agree a great bloke and teammate.

If this is true, frankly, it's unprofessional and the management shouldn't be pandering to it in anyway. They both have contracts for God's sake.

Seriously, what is going on with Sky? Didn't I read that Wiggins has signed a new deal? They cannot expect to do well overall with this kind of atmosphere.

 

[SeriousSam]

Brad's moods need to be ridden around like traffic island, you can't really blame Froome for this.

 

[pastronef]

since a few years, team Sky has a training base in Alcudia (Mallorca) for more than a month in Jan-Feb instead of a 10 days training camp for all the riders.
riders can choose when get there and train together. I don't think they'll even meet there

Where did you hear that ?

 

[maxmartin]

Froom should also target Giro, whoever can win the Giro-Tour double will undoubtedly become the best road cyclist in his generation.

 

[wwabbit]

Where did you hear that ?

Obviously, he made it up.

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Obviously, he made it up.

Maybe you haven't been following cycling much for the last two years?

I'm not convinced that denying Swift the services of an in form Wiggins makes him a great teammate. Not that it matters of course because Swift has about as much chance of winning as me. I can't see Cav standing for that crap next year. He will want want Wiggins and Froome in Qatar and if Froome is too childish to accept that then it will be Froome who is told where to go.

You mean 2016.? The year when Wiggins will target the Olympics on track and retire after.
You're just trash talking Froome. No substance in your claims.

well said. Wiggo won't be riding in Qatar, he'll be sipping a drink in the early Mallorcan autumn
