Wada let him off. Crooked and corrupt. Will he retire after this year? If he walks away, he might get away with it all. If he stays, he might win his fifth tdf or he could lose it all.

I would expect Froome will be going to the Worlds (for the Time Trial at least) and want some racing beforehand. And it's good for the sponsors for him to show his face in UK when the opportunity arises.fmk_RoI said:I can see the attraction of the ToB to Thomas - Wiggins will have given him advice on the night stages, having already done the ToB pub crawl as a recently-crowned Tour winner in 2012 - but what's in it for Froome? Is he aiming to win SPOTY's team-mate of the year prize?
topcat said:Froome did the tour of south Africa to try to recreate the race conditions of the vuelta. That was a valiant attempt even though he came up short. Now he's doing the tour of Britain to keep his one fan happy. This one fan has multiple aliases and personalities and so will be unpredictable in his/her response to him 'racing' the tour of little Britain.

Indeed how much money did he have......very prescient of him to move to a tax haven before he started making any money...he knew all he had to do was diet

and he´ll ride Tour of Britain with his pal G.
maybe this thread will get a bump for that week
Why would he be more at risk to lose it all if he continues to ride? If there are grounds to strip him of wins in the past, then that damage has already been done...topcat said:Wada let him off.

Monaco can't be that expensive. Lizzie Deignan chose to live there and there's no money in women's cycling.gillan1969 said:@simoni - he moved to Monaco in 2011 pre-transformation before he was making the sort of money you need to stay in Monaco.....

Benotti69 said:As for living in Monaco, didn't Rebellin claim to be living in Monaco to avoid paying taxes in Italy and when investigated, yes he had an address in Moanco but spent most of his time in Italy when not racing. Got done for a couple of million euro.
So there are probably scams to get addresses in Monaco and live in nearby Nice or just near to Monaco or even your home town.
Cyclists, would never do that, as it would be cheating and we know cyclists never cheat.
samhocking said:Not sure why you would need to apply for residency under a scam as £500K is affordable by most sports people. It's a relatively simple cross-reference between the bank who provides a reference letter of necessary funds deposited, proof of accommodation address in Monaco and matching electricity contract for that address every 12 months and an interview. If you have the right contacts with the banks, you can get the bank to write the reference for as little as £85K.
I’m not finished, when I get to end of my career, I could be able to say, but at the moment I still have a lot to achieve and race for. At the moment, I don’t think about it, there’s still a lot I want to do.
