Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

[TourOfSardinia]

If Froome's so popular with the British public why didn't parade himself at last weekend's London Surrey Classic?

Contador did a big public ride in Italy up the Gavia:

Why's Froome so far from his public?

Welcome back everybody:
The believers, the cynics, the fans, the critics; for another round of Froome "bashing" and/or "defending" him and his achievements...
But let´s stay calm.

Why's Froome so far from his public?

Because he's weird.

Seriously, it also makes me wonder.

 

[BroDeal]

It's back!

Having read that Tyler article, it's disappointing, but can we blame somebody for wanting to believe?

Is a world different from "I know they're 100% clean because I spent 3 weeks in a bus with them". Don't equate him with a total sell out like Walsh. Hamilton is simply stating his opinion, while Walsh is trying to convince the whole world that Sky are clean.

There are a bunch of guys like Walsh who don't want to be a hated figure within cycling like Kimmage is, so they are sticking with the official talking points of everything is cleaner and there is no reason not to believe. They cannot seem to maintain a straight story, though. Last year it was, "Speeds are down and boring cycling is what clean cycling looks like." This year they expect everyone to forget what they were preaching last year.

Simply because he is not an attention wh*re, like some others,
and wouldn't want to steal attention and accolades from those
that actually were competing in the Classic.

Let the young man have a well deserved break from the media
circus that he's sure to face again when he visits America.

Enjoy your rest and recovery in Tuscany, Chris.

It is hard to meet and greet the public when anemic from banking blood between races.

How is what Contador did essentially different from Froome doing crits in Belgium? Just a thought

Training for the USA Pro Challenge most likely.

 

[Boeing]

Having read Hamilton's book this statement is just bizarre.

first thing that came to my mind as well. its as if he wants to desperately be relevant in the discussion again.

Why's Froome so far from his public?

It has a little to do with his fiance going after Wiggo so often in the social media.

 

[the sceptic]

I havent been paying too much attention to Dawg mania after the forum went down. Whats new?

And Berty wouldn't be doing it if he had won? Get real, don't criticise him for doing the post TdF crits like all previous winners have done just because you think he is doping...

 

[Catwhoorg]

That wedding isn't going to pay for itself.

(Well maybe if they sign with Hello! or similar, it just might)

Exactly.

Do you have any idea how much a Tiffany ring costs?

 

[thirteen]

Tiffany??? Pfffffffft!

Tiffany??? Pfffffffft!

And Vuitton wedding dresses don't just grow on trees.

Have you ever had to cater for a wedding with 3000 guests.

I have to be beautiful. I just have to be.

great quote from JV:

"but the thing is there’s nothing wrong with the skepticism"

 

[BroDeal]

Someone riddle me this. Bruyneelsfraud releases Froome's data to the same buffoon who declared Armstrong clean. One of the points said buffoon makes is that Froome's weight has only varied by 900 grams for two years. Why would someone maintain his TdF weight throughout the year? How would someone do it without getting sick and having it affect his training? This makes no sense.

 

[Wallace and Gromit]

One of the points said buffoon makes is that Froome's weight has only varied by 900 grams for two years.

The reference to Froome's weight was his racing weight based on chatter on other more secure forums.

There's still some ambiguity as to what race weight actually is. e.g. is it at the start, at the end, at the start of each stage, the end of each stage, or just whenever measured during the race etc?

He will barely register here, he is a nobody. The general public here now knows anyone who wins the tour is a doper. Froome is a clown.

Do yu think there will be the same thought of disgraceful treatment towards him from the fans in the US as those on the Alpe and Semnoz towards Chris and his team?
