Teams & Riders Chris Froome Discussion Thread.

Bringing up this classic pic:

Yates is retired so here is a chance for Froomey to shine. Will he accept superdom/co-leader role for the Tour or will he wait a bit longer for a team totally dedicated to him during the epic battle for #5 vs Pogi?

So do alot of Masters racers. They don't get paid and he might find it more exciting than expected.

No way could he handle masters race. Too physical for him.

I'd like to see him race against Oksana Masters.

Okay, just out of curiosity, when did that happen?
I'm guessing sometimes after 2016...

And yet Chaves can't be more than 14 in that pic.

Is Vingo riding Giro di Sardegna?

That's harsh! Froome is primed and ready to do a Chris Horner and bag another Grand Tour.

This is the first year in cycling history with two candidates to win a fifth Tour de France.

Pogacar for Le Tour.
Froome for L'Étape du Tour.

That's one for Mental and random cycling statistics.

I was gonna argue that it requires Froome to get a contract, but I realized that even if he doesn't, it kinda still holds. Because there has never before in history been more than one rider at four wins. That's a bit of a fascinating stat. Everyone else who has managed four wins have moved on to get five without anyone else reaching four in the meantime.
