Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

Froome probably had a celebration ride for his 2011 Vuelta win.

Re:

Far be it from me to support Froome, but: I was hit by a truck, had my pelvis rebuilt with titanium, broke 11ribs, punctured my lungs, broke vertebrae and severely fractured a collarbone. With much argument, I could manage a trainer aftwr 4-5 weeks Were I a multi-million dollar athlete, there would have been no argument. I won’t say with certainty, but I suspect many people have no idea what they’re talking about.

Holy smoke that's crazy

I probably couldn't get out of bed for 3 months if I broke a rib.

Brailsford always promised the French a French TDF winner. "Chris, we need you to step aside."

Re: Re:

Yeh seems to me Ineos have to take a step back from the cookie jar this time and what happens is that they are nowhere. Cant have a multiple GT-winner back to his pre anatomic Jock-days so needs to slip out somewhere. Could always point on this incident when back to his zig-zagging days.

 

[macbindle]

They are hardly nowhere. They have a rider in second and fourth place.

What planet are you on? They arent trying to lose this race, they are trying to win it

Re:

If it help you sleep at night thinking they are as strong as previous years lmao.

And as we speak Kwiatkowski looks VERY mortal.

I didnt say they were. You said they are nowhere. 2nd and 4th on GC isnt nowhere.

He's looking well

 

[dacooley]

seems like froome is not going to let his clinics well-wishers get bored. he will try to come back to his best. so gentlemen, let's take our time and gain power as there are a lot of heated debates ahead

on a serious note, this tour immensly lacks froome's charisma. those elbows going back and forth, stupid socks, unique bike-handling skills as well as climbing in yo-yo mode with a furious attack coming later. we got used to this way too much imo.

 

[Saint Unix]

Au contraire, this Tour is the best I can remember in over a decade because of the distinct lack of Chris "Charisma Vacuum" Froome.

If the team didn’t have such a history of unmitigated BS, and if the photo is in any way backed up the initial claims about his injuries, no one would be saying jack about it. They have brought the doubt upon themselves.

I’ve been resistant to the conspiracy theories floating around but to imply there’s no reason for questions strikes me as maybe a bit naive.

Yep, nice little video...plenty of scars and x rays for folks to get their teeth into..

"I was initially after the crash a bit inundated and if I'm honest a bit overwhelmed with the amount of media requests that came in for me"

That's sorted then

Poor Froome.

Okay gotta be honest, I thought all the conspiracy talk was complete bollocks

But after seeing the video, the scars just don't match up
