Spot on really. Froome has zero personality or charm. And should never be forgiven for half wheeling his own team leader.

Can't they afford fact checkers at l'Equipe? (Merckx was punched in 75, not 74).
I know British journalism isn't always of the highest quality, but the stylised prose that French sportswriters use is, to quote Francois Thomazeau, bullshit.

So basically, he's shit because he's not French, and it was fairer when riders lost races through no fault of their own. What a load of bollocks.

Rather curious L'Equipe article wistfully musing on the mystery of Chris Froome, bemoaning the missed opportunity on Ventoux for him to be liked, English translation here:

It's a very wordy way to say that Froome is a bit odd.
