I'm a big froome fan, and it's not painful to me watch him on that level. Since the crash i don't have expectations about him. The guy nearly dead, his body were almost broken, so it's a victory for him being able to ride now. I'm quite happy see him just ride even if he will never go back to his best level. It was a great achievement for him ride his bike every day after that crash.I know what you mean, but riders who have a decent Summer will probably be okay, even in a January time trial.
It is not much to go on, but I shudder at the prospect for Froome, who had no TT power earlier this year and now complains of a loss of energy post-Covid and has seen his VO2 Max collapse.
If his time trialing abilities are now further diminished from the ordinary level they were at then this Tour Down Under could be painful viewing for Froome fans.
I hope not.
The only problem was is declarations about saying is goal being win the tour again, saying that he was 100% recovered from the crash. He shouldn't said that because he was putting expectations very high on his fans, and a stuff for his haters like for example we see on this forum, mock him and ridicule him.
He was talking more with this emotions than with is head.
Despite that, i don't understand the ridiculous hate on him altough is some "delusional" declarations. He is a polite and humble guy, praised for almost peloton. Joao almeida in a interview last week on portuguese channel said that froome is his idol, not just because what he achieved, but also because he is a humble, polite guy when he talks with him.
He is not a dumba** guy/bully like armstrong. I prefer to praise him for doing everything to comeback to his best, kudos for that, even if it almost impossible. And after all, he will be always in the history of cycling after what he accomplished. It makes me confused people here mock a guy that almost lost his life after break so many bones, and lose 2 liters of blood, even if sometimes he makes some delusional statements.
