That is an interesting question, he wouldn't be eligible for Kenya but would have to declare himself for one of the GB sub-countries (presumably England).simo1733 said:Will he ride the commonwealth games and if so for whom?
Froome has already ridden at the Commonwealth Games for England, in Delhi. 5th in the time trial.Ferminal said:That is an interesting question, he wouldn't be eligible for Kenya but would have to declare himself for one of the GB sub-countries (presumably England).

Yes, it's pretty much the standard path to Tour greatness, placing 5th, 2:20 back from David Millar on a pan-flat 40k course. About a year before basically becoming the top GT rider in the world.ebandit said:is that the event hoggy states da dawg rode in sandshoes........not surprising then he went on to win the tdf

So from that we can take it that Dowsett and Durbridge are bone idle bankers!red_flanders said:Yes, it's pretty much the standard path to Tour greatness, placing 5th, 2:20 back from David Millar on a pan-flat 40k course. About a year before basically becoming the top GT rider in the world.
Makes sense.
How strange that none of the riders ahead of him were able to make these amazing leaps in form. Nice riders, a couple of them, but somehow not able to progress and continue to beat the world-beating Froome.

Which I believe is #3 onthis clip
he finished 5 mins down, which really isn't bad given his age at the time.

Oh do shut upthehog said:Froome doesn't get w-nkered so he's not a lad. And he knows nothing about football. Can't having sports heros who don't get p1ssed up.

Sir Dave Brailsford has declared that Team Sky’s latest bike - - has the potential to be a game-changer in professional road cycling.
It is just so much fun following this sport. We are just missing some religious figure. Can't someone get the pope on a bike.

The whole thing reads like a Clinic parody. There's only so much to work with when they've done all the work for us.![]()
Cav and what army?MatParker117 said:Don't think Froome would ride the Commonwealth's as Wiggins is a dead cert for gold in the TT and the Road Race is Cav vs Orica Greenedge.
