Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

Froome turns into the Bionic Dawg as his miraculous recovery continues :lol:

Dave Brailsford says Chris Froome only left hospital yesterday an put his feet on the floor for the first time in a long time. Now continuing his recovery at home.

They've made him better, stronger, faster. Internal motors, now. Can't wait for the comeback.

There won’t be a big comeback

With the doctors that helped him overcome 3:38 in stage 19, 2018 Giro, anything's possible...

Give him a bit of that Pena Cabarga 2011 ointment and he could still make the start of today's stage

He nearly died and lost 3 lites of blood so logical he’d start today

You're going to miss him aren't you ?

Surely he had enough bags saved up for the blood loss to be just a minor inconvenience?

It's odd that on the start day of the TdF, with the first time in ages that Froome isnt there, and the prospect of having a more open race.....people are still here posting their silly fantasies about Froome.

It's like those people bleating on and on about Cav not being at the Tour, only weirder.

And here you are. This is the Froome thread afterall.

since August 2011, every day that froome is still a pro bike rider is weird...

since September 2011, every day that Froome has been the 'best stage racer of his generation' is even weirder....

 

[macbindle]

Sure....but he's not there today....and he didnt win last year.

It's over.

well, never had a boggie man before him and no one looking like the next and so whilst I wouldn't have wished anyone's career to end via a bad crash (although he's looking good for it )...if he never bothers another podium again I won't be shedding any tears, shall we say....

I agree with this, really. Ever since I started watching pro cycling nearly 40 years ago, it has involved 'superhuman' moments from riders, particularly from the very late 80s onwards, but Froome has stretched this too far for me to be comfortable thinking that I'm watching a bike race rather than a pharmaceutical race (as did Armstrong, as did Indurain). Have to give the guy some credit beyond the purely physical as his tactical skill and bike handling skills are light years away from his Barlo days, but still he just grates too much.

So that's the rub .. in 'it?

Like many of the rest of the anti Froome mercenaries on here … you have an internet addiction and an itch, FFS. That's the package. Lightyears away from being a pro athlete … but a gifted visionary on how it all works. *** amazing. :geek:

 

[macbindle]

Mercenaries? Did you mean to choose that word? You know what it means, yes?

So, go on then, O Grand Cogniscenti of Pro Cycling, tell us all how it actually all works, and explain to us how you are so much closer to being a Pro and how that means that Froome's salbutamol scandal as well as all of the other Sky crap didnt actually happen, and how prior to Vuelta 2011, Froome had bilharzia for the whole of his life and how the miracle cure turned him from an utter nobody into one of the most successful cyclists ever :lol:

You carry on, son. Everybody is listening...
