Re:
This is f.hilarious. Last week Rick James was in here telling us Brailsford didn’t need the pawn off Froome. Now we find out Brailsford was prostituting Froome to anyone he could find.
And then, if by magic...........
Froome finishes 2nd in the Vuelta by going full ***. What are the chances?

Re: Re:
Ah yeah, my bad, you're right.
But anyway, there was some excitement about Froome until he joined Team Sky, after which it all faded away, and then he started getting offered around in 2011
Catwhoorg said:Bronstein said:PremierAndrew said:Valv.Piti said:Wait, Sky basically rated him as their worst rider?
Fwiw, when Sky were starting up with their aim of producing a British Tour winner within 5 years, they were looking at two riders: Froome and Thomas. Then Wiggins had his Tour in 09 and all the plans changed. It's a shame that Froome's become too common to search the forum history on here, because until recently, you could see posts before the 2011 Vuelta from multiple forumers who seemed very excited about Froome. Ok, not as a potential 4 time Tour winner and the dominant stage racer of his era, but it definitely looked like people expected him to be a challenger for top 5s in major stage races.
Not denying that he's 99% likely to have doped to get where he is right now, but the image of Froome as a talentless kid who cheated his way to the top is also ridiculous
Do you have a source for this?
Kennaugh was the one normally thought of with the comment IIRC

Re: Re:
Did Froome perform like that clean? Aw hell naw
Did Froome do anything that Cobo didn't? Aw hell naw
UCI's fault that there is still more than enough incentive for a rider to dope

Re: Re:
Exactly. Froome almost our Cobo’d Cobo. Almost. Poor gear choice on Angliru and some stage seconds lost it. Otherwise he would have and should have won. Fairly awesome seeing he spent week one on the front pacing Wiggins.

Chris Froome believes in clean cycling. So does Alexander Vinokurov.

A bit off but do we know Froome's blood type? Apart from being T (transfused), what if his blood is of type O? I've heard that this makes possible much more efficient fat burning than other types who run on carbs better.

This is the Froome talk only thread, so naturally, I focused my point on Froome, not Quintana or Nibali or Contador or someone else....

Yeah, sure, y'all know that everyone knows Landa, Aru and Quintana are cleans
Definitely, and you can also see when someone calls them a doper on their threads, their fans complain that you're not calling out Froome...
...oh...wait...

Re:
Chaves needs minutes on Froome before the ITT so I'd expect Sky's laundry didn't need the "extra dirty" wash cycle.
