Ok never been a Froome fan. He comes with so much baggage: his strange story and transformation to GT dominance, his lack of discernible character in interviews, his rabid wife, the stories of stealing rabbits to feed his python, his crab-like riding style, the weird seated high-cadence, the Sky slow-strangulation-method of winning, jumping countries...but fuck me he’s done a thing.
That thing remains with an asterisk as the Guardian reporting was at pains to point out, but it is still a thing. A good thing. A testament to tenacity and bravery and my old favourite, sheer-bloody-mindedness. I’m of a mind the AAF for sabultamol doesn’t really change the thing. Chapeau Froome you disquieting, odd, and completely fearless little man.
