The Climb (Froome's first autobiography)

[sittingbison]

Seroiously you get out of that that he insinuates Knees doesnt understand crosswinds,...

Dawg compares two riders A and B

A = Knees
B = Stannard

Dawg wants his rider A or B to have attribute C

C = "I like a guy who understands crosswinds"

Dawg states which rider has attribute C

D = "Ian I thought was that guy"

You do the math

 

[sittingbison]

...Does anyone actually believe Wiggins wins that Tour? Not only would Froome have been unleashed in the mountains, Brad wouldn't have had Froome to support him....

the hubris, naivete, and megolomania of this hilarious autobiograpgy doesnt hide the fact that Wiggo, said DODGER was the road captain doing the hard yards, making the tough decisions and putting out 450W when needed, and Basso saying he could barely keep up (in the slipstream) let alone attack when Little Richie was pumping out 420W.

I don't remember anybody saying much about Dawg other than what a *** he was.

 

[red_flanders]

That would depend on whether any other team had enough UCI protection to let Froome go full *** to beat Wiggins. On the special TdF route. During an Olympic year.

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!!!!

We have a winner.

You missed out the Knees would be tired from Giro when you jumped to your conclusion.

This.

Froome was on wiggo's wheel most of the time and even sandbagged the yellow jersey the first time he attacked it, as you say it was Dodger putting the hurt on

Lol but this also

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Hypothetical scenario. Froome isn't on Sky in 2012, he's riding for some other team that doesn't have awful support.

Does anyone actually believe Wiggins wins that Tour? Not only would Froome have been unleashed in the mountains, Brad wouldn't have had Froome to support him.

Being the best time triallist in the world isn't that much of an advantage when your competitor is like the third best and climbs like Armstrong.

You're making the assumption that the 2012 version of Froome was as good as the 2013 version. The results suggest otherwise.

This guy has been ruthless from day 1.

" Before the Tour de France sets off from Leeds on Saturday 5 July, those riders hoping to dethrone Chris Froome, the Kenyan-born, South African-educated British passport holder who won last year's 100th edition of the race, would do well to examine the early chapters of his autobiography. In particular, they might pay attention to Froome's choice of childhood pets: a pair of baby rock pythons whose diet evolved from mice and rats to rabbits. "It's an interesting fact that snakes won't eat dead food," their erstwhile keeper recalls, and it became his role, while barely into his teens, to supply them with live meals, which they squeezed to death before swallowing whole. The rabbits were often stolen from a hutch at the kindergarten across the road from his family home outside Nairobi. "Young children would arrive at the class next day and their little baby bunny rabbits would be gone," he writes, remembering how the rabbits squealed piteously as the snakes grabbed them and started the coiling process that preceded ingestion. "I felt like intervening and stopping it. But the pythons had to be fed and it was my responsibility." "

[jens_attacks]

agree. you can't be more ruthless than that. they are fuccin rabbits!!!who kills rabbits anyway?
after this autobiography and the fact that he has no eyebrows...i really think he's already more mental than lance. lance was a puppy compared to chris

after you kidnap rabbits and then give them to pythons, climbing the alpes at 500 watts and doing all what is necessary to do is just a kids game

 

[LaFlorecita]

As if I needed even more reason to dislike him. He stole little children's rabbits, and fed them to his pythons? Wtf.

 

[Fzotrlool]

they are fuccin rabbits!!!

Yeah, and they were even beloved pets of toddlers and kindergarteners. Worst self-promotion ever.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Don't understand why he'd write about that. Who wants to read that ****? Ugh.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Noooo....

 

[jens_attacks]

it's almost like he wants people to hate him. and he loves it

 

[bigcog]

it's almost like he wants people to hate him. and he loves it

I think he is a bit of a wind up merchant

 

[jens_attacks]

I think he is a bit of a wind up merchant

i think he is a crazy mother----er. #coldblood #machiavelistuff

 

[the sceptic]

i think he is a crazy mother----er. #coldblood #machiavelistuff

well to be fair you have to be pretty badass to load your body up with whatever it is that can make you climb like Froome

 

[Ferminal]

Seems like a good lad to me.

 

[Walkman]

Based on what?

Most people here have no problem with convicted dopers so why should Froome be so different? And he might no be the most humble man, but it's not like he is anywhere near Armstrong with regards to be a bully.

And the over interpretations of his book is pure comedy. I have never seen so many people being so easily violated because of his book. He calls Henao and Uran "colombians" and you guys cries over it. He claims that sending a strong team to the Giro and the Tour will weaken SKY's overall strength, which is totally right and you all know it, and people blame him for criticizing Dave Brailsford.

It's a f*cking comedy.

But kidnapping rabbits from kindergarten to feed them to his python, man.

 

[Fzotrlool]

Made this for you!

 

[The Hitch]

WTF. That's in his book. Hog you seen it?

That is ****ing disgusting.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Rabbits are tasty.

This guy has been ruthless from day 1.

The rabbits were often stolen by Chris Froome from a hutch at the kindergarten across the road from his family home outside Nairobi. "Young children would arrive at the class next day and their little baby bunny rabbits would be gone, and so of course I would keep silent about the fact that I had stolen them because whatever is important to me is the only thing that matters in the world. The rules didn't apply to me as a child, and they clearly don't apply me to as an adult."

It appears you missed the full quote.

We can add this to the long list of lies and deception that Chris is so fond of:

Hacking into federation emails.
Taking illegal feeds during a race.
Deliberately misleading his team and trainers by fabricating his training data.
Stealing "little baby bunny rabbits" from a kindergarten to sastify his own personal agenda.

It's all in a days work. It's how one succeeds in the world.

You are sick.

People are rightfully outraged at him stealing rabbits and watching as squirm at being eaten alive, shrugging it off, and now boasting about it. And you bring up some bull**** about one poster once a hundred pages back bringing up nonesence about "Colombians" and trying to make it out like that's what everyone is upset about.

Seek help seriously.

And what Froome did there is a million times worse than doping.

A good thing you know who isn't here to lecture me about how doping is only slightly less bad than things like human trafficking, in order to try and look like he is the most anti doping of everyone.
But I reading the story, I do know now, who really does have blood on their hands.
