I'm curious, can you explain why that will be interesting? I don't want to make an assumption.It will be interesting to see how much the Clinic will put Israel Start Up Nation under scrutiny next year now that Froome is there.
Just putting it out there......
It may prove to be very, very not interesting in any case.I'm curious, can you explain why that will be interesting? I don't want to make an assumption.
But Ineos is making an electric vehicle. Doesn't that make them all better?maybe Rintintin expect a higher interest in Israel´s politics and Palestine situation, same as when the environmental and petrol interest raised sky high when Ineos came in as the new sponsor for Froome´s team last year
So far it's really un-interesting. As it should be with Froome, who never should have been remotely interesting.It may prove to be very, very not interesting in any case.
He said he put on upper body muscle because of the rehab work.He's apparently a minute down on the main bunch today.
Told Swiss jurnos he's been doing a lot of weights and core work so a little overweight because of that.
Yeh, ok. Nothing to do with you been off the slimming gear.
The Fancy Bears hack revealed Sky and Chris Froome used a Therapeutic Use Exemption to lawfully take the corticosteroid Prednisolone in May, 2013 and April, 2014.
Now, ex-doping cyclist David Millar describes it as a "once a year" medication so maybe Froome has not had his yet, based on those dates, which were seasons that he started the Tdf.
If he gets his jab before his next race at the end of May (Critérium du Dauphiné) then we should see a big improvement if he has recovered from his injuries (still questionable).
Ex-doper Joerg Jaksche says such medicinal drugs give a 3-5% improvement by reducing weight, reducing inflammation, improving recovery and reducing pain.
Would this really be sufficient to transform the Froome we see now into a WT contender?
Seems like a reach............
