Froome needed to develop, no more. he showed always very good performance and even results, that way he pass from to be in 2006 riding Mauritous in a local team to be in le Tour in 2008 with the best at the begining of alp d huez after Galibier and Croix de fer and with the best in the last ITT.
Froome starting cycling with 19, late, before he just race cyclotourist events, it was just a game for him, a hobby, and I would say even with 19 it was just a hobby, but we could say he started.
He did great progession from the begining and he did good results in 2008, lot of people talked about his potential, i followed him then and I was dissaponted in 2009 and 2010 becouse althouh he was sometimes ok, he didnt progress,I was dissapointed becouse he was a talented and promising rider, of course.
if you think he was a crap, it is just your opinion, so be more polite.
This is from wikipedia:
At the age of 13, his mother took him to his first organised bike race, a charity race which he won despite being knocked off by his mother. There he met professional cyclist David Kinjah, who became Froome's mentor and training partner.
At 13.
el oh el at Froome starting in 2007.
Do you think that me, who has writted one of the longer artcle about the story of Froome, that I was studing his life and all the articles and interviews about him as far as was possible, dont know those things??
.
If you give new news, very good, wellcome, or if wikipedia changes, but to write my article I mailed to Kinjah, I have a friend riding in Asia and he has the e mail of David, and as I related Kinjah told me he didnt see an special strngh on the bike in Froome, so you must be happy to rad that.
Maybe is not good to do thsi but I am going to put to you some of the words Kinjah told me.
Started in cycling is not starting in a bike, it is much more, Pinot started in cycling at 7 year ago, Froome at 19, althogh he was longtime before riding a bike.
It would be nice to know the age he rode first a road bike, althogh that is not exactly he start cycling, but of course with Kinja he was in BMX and later in MTB.
Answer of Kinjah (just a little becouse is a private message)
Chris was always very crazy about cycling, and he was always willing to go anywhere and everywhere with a bike, he never had any special talent on bikes, but he was just hardcore and very hard working to archive cycling goals.
About his issues at the Sky, I don't know the truth, but I am sure Chris had seen a chance and he went flat out to get it by racing hard at the Vuelta, thus opening his door to the TDF.
Chris is the kind of guy who will work very hard to prove his point, and that has taken him further and further in cycling.
The doubters will always be there, not every one will love Chris froome, but that is fine and we must let them express their opinions.
You can read in my article my opinion, I cant put here the link by rules, but it is in my signature of my profile. I dindt write it with any own purpose, just to can answer with arguments to a lot of people that think like you,a nd not to be always writting the same long explanations.
