Chris Froome now advertises quad lock for your phone (in a voice so boring I query are dementors real) whilst also owning a stake in a head unit company?

Did he really have a broken femur? Or, rather, still have one?

In other good news CyclingNews seem to have abandoned its paywall experiment.

Femur, kneecap, 11 ribs, T5 & T6 vertebrae, a thumb, lost a tooth, punctured both lungs... Unreal that he's on his feet and walking a few steps.

George Bennett on training differences between Jumbo and UAE. Hours down; intensity up.

also ARE CAV won a #chipper

As did Viviani.
Very happy for him, always liked Viviani.

How chipper was this? Covid basically killed my actual cycling and to a large degree waning interest in pro-cycling. Did he actually beat Gaviria? Is Gaviria any good still?

I know it's a chipper, but that was a cracking stage.

A real chipper when you have both the road and the time trial world champions on the front.

The Cav sprint was not typical for him? Went for a long time in the wind from well back and just hauled everybody in.

Also, Carlton Kirby is equally capable of ruining your enjoyment of speed skating as cycling

Its kinda mad the field at Provence. Its feb ffs.

Racing is pretty great at the moment.

Viviani and Ineos being exciting, crosswind mayhem.

Cavendish doing San Remo monster sprints.

I watched old Paris dakar footage and it was Carlton Kirby commentating

Just a shame he didn't get lost in the desert...

Are these the only headlines Froome Dogg will get in 2022?

I think it is a great point.

unfair, he will also get headlines when he ships ten minutes in the first week of the TDF
