Teams & Riders Chris Froome Discussion Thread.

[JimPanzen]

As perfectly expected when you strictly look at performance, he's not in the Tour team.

IPT would have made fools of themselves, if they included him.

As reported here: https://forum.cyclingnews.com/threads/israel-premier-tech.36061/post-3029405

IPT at the Tour de France

Riders: Pascal Ackermann (GER), Guillaume Boivin (CAN) Jakob Fuglsang (DEN), Derek Gee (CAN), Hugo Houle (CAN), Krists Neilands (LAT), Jake Stewart (GBR), Stevie Williams (GBR)

Sports Directors: Steve Bauer (CAN), Sam Bewley (NZL), Dror Pekatch (ISR), Rik Verbrugghe (BEL)

and the elephant not in the room is?

Let's see if he has a social media meltdown like last year.

 

[tobydawq]

Thank God.

Be nice to the old man.

OMG, the team makes the same mistake again! Chris was saving all his matches for the Tour (therefore a subdued ride at the Dauphine) and was just about to peak. A battle royale between 3 TdF winners was brutally taken away from us. He should change teams and become a proper, respected leader next year. There's still hope: Papa Horner was almost 42 when he won Vuelta'13.

Does this mean hes going to the Tour... of Sibiu?

 

[Lequack]

There is always the Vuelta.

the team has lined him up on the reserve list for Sibiu (same as Bennett and Teuns), but I guess they are more or less free to decide themselves. There's nothing official yet.

 

[Netserk]

This smacks of ageism!

Volta a Portugal is also available

i don't know if they are going to even send him to tour of rwanda next year, it became embarrassing for the team.

He hoodwinked them and increased his earnings, but his legacy has been destroyed.

 

[Lequack]

He has responded by posting ads for some payment thing

Legend! He's wasting his talents in cycling.

Froome is a graduate

[Salvarani]

They picked all the Canadians though.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Fuglsang looking quite young there!
But unlike Dawg in 2024
EDIT: Jakob said (to billedbladet.dk) in 2023:

Of course I'm sorry not to be selected for the Tour, but it's because I've had a slightly difficult start to the season and perhaps still haven't quite shown that the form is where it should be at the moment.

 

[myrideissteelerthanyours]

The team, literally a boys club, singled out the only African rider you mean.

 

[DJO]

Racist decision...

We need the What’s App leaks!!!

Wait, I thought he is starting? As per the line up someone posted above.
