I think froome is a pretty challenging athlete. He's hard to like, because he seems pretty professional (taps arm makes motion of smack use - amirigt?). Yet. He works on his weaknesses.
Fat - nope not now
Can't descend /terrible skillZ - nope
Doesn't know what to do to animate a race - looks at Olympic race where he went nuts downhill (but fell and failed,).
So what's the beef from the internet?
Mild sexism/full on misogyny against his wife
He's not a boy
He looks weird climbing
He's mild mannered
He's got a team of winners around him.
He does things in a calculated way.
Hes not always romantic.
It's his fucking job. He's doing quite well at his job isn't he?
