No idea.
Henderson posted this on his FB page, but I've found nothing to shed any more light.

No no no this is pro cyclist Greg Henderson.. #

It turned into football when people started having fits about Froome's wife's tweets. Maybe when people actually started following her.
This Cav/Henderson seems a bit more like wrastlin'. Which is kind of awesome. In a horrible way.

Don't you dare. If I start seeing papers reporting riders' newest fucking haircut I'm disowning the whole pro peloton for ever.
"Costacrush, supersmile & dreamy mr. Phinney"? hmmm, getting close: http://velovoices.com/

Bouhanni isn't that bad at getting over lumps either though, and he looks a notch above where he was last season IMO. Ah well, another decent French rider out after Giant-Shimano omits Bourgueil.
Madiot had concerns that Bouhanni might find the Tour a step too far after finishing the Giro. Plus Demare has already signed a new contract so the team are going to back him more than Bouhanni, who is probably set to leave FDJ at the end of the season.
As for Barguil, Giant-Shimano are going to the Tour to win stages with Kittel so taking a climber is going to leave them a man light on the sprint stages. After's Kittel's performance last year, Giant-Shimano will have a lot more pressure on to control the race on sprint stages so will need a handful of rouleurs to ride on the front all day.
Barguil is set to ride the Vuelta again, where he did so well last year, but with the intention of competing for the overall rather than for stage wins. That's a new challenge for him and should stand him in good stead when he makes his Tour debut.

Also FDJ can't afford his wage demands, Madiot was saying, so they have gone with youth. Cav efforts last year in the Giro cost him in the TdF too.
Froome laid into Henderson in his book didn't he? Tore strips off him, now Cav laying into him. Fighttttt!

Cycling fanboys don't count. I said papers.
Anway, fuck this. What drugs is Froome on?

Dunno, but went looking...
"The man is dipped, basted and slow-roasted in narcissism. The excerpts have him pitted against anyone who might have challenged his world view that he is exceptional.
Take the Henderson incident as an example. You're at a race and you find yourself well and truly off the back with only one other teammate to work with. Anyone who's raced knows how that feels. You've had an awful day and you're about as low as you can go. Meh. So you work together to salvage whatever you can.
At the top of a climb, you struggle a bit and your teammate finds himself down the other side in a good position to catch the last grupetto. What goes through your mind is:
- Good on him. At least someone on our team can catch a break. I'm stuffed. Wonder if I should keep going or abandon? About as memorable as last Tuesday's commute.
or
- ******* left me behind! Why didn't he wait for me? Why didn't he help tow me to the finish!? I'm foiling this away and will not forget or forgive his betrayal.
Chris Froome: Drugged up narcissist cheat. He and Armstrong should go in on a business venture together. That'd be great entertainment.

The Climb (Froome's first autobiography) - Page 53 - CyclingNews Forum
The one that kills me is where he slags Henderson for disrupting the Sky "train" during a lead out. Someone needs to take him aside and explain how bicycle racing competitions are waged by men who know what they are doing.
So Henderson is able to insert himself in third to fourth position and Froome is ****ed that Henderson won't say "Pardon me. This must be your spot. By all means good man, I'll just pull to one side and let you in". Ha ha ha ha. But no. If you're too stupid to let him take your wheel, then suck it up. Or... like an experienced Cat 2, take second to last wheel and push Henderson back one position.
Good lord, it's Henderson's job to grab a wheel and wreak havoc with Sky's plans.

He said Henderson got in the way of thier mountain train, not during a lead out. He did it because Froome had got in the way of one of Henderson's leadouts, not because Henderson had some GC guy to protect on the climb or something. Basically saying Greg had zero reason to be there and was just being a ******.
