There is quirk and there is humour. Thomas tells a story from the pair's younger days when they were preparing for the national championships by staying at his girlfriend's parents' house.
Two nights before the race, Froome insisted on making everyone a potent Kenyan cocktail called a dawa. Except the ones he made for his team-mate were both more numerous and significantly stronger. He ended up beating his host by 10 enfeebled seconds.If the goal of the article is to make people like Froome this just makes him come across as a snide cunt.
There was also an engaging naivety. "Sometimes he had no idea about other riders," remembers Thomas.
"'Who was that guy? He looked strong today.' 'Yeah mate, that was Nibali. Only someone who's won every Grand Tour there is to win…'
"He's still like that now. Someone can switch teams and it will fool him. 'Who's that in the Trek jersey? He's quick!' 'Mate, that's Contador…'"
Also just makes him sound daft or conceited if he doesn't know who Contador and Nibs are.
Overall 2/10 did not warm to, would throw flask of piss if presented the opportunity

BBC sticks its oar in about why nobody likes Froome.

Dunno what it's trying to say, cos it's the BBC and they have clickbait on their homepage these days so nothing can be taken seriously.
