Froome 58:41 down

'Speed' to cycle your dog at.

It that his 25mi tt time?

How is a 180mm rotor installed here

I was never a Froome fan, but I don't really get the schadenfreude. He isn't a great rider anymore because he smashed into a wall and suffered seriously traumatic injuries. What else is there to it?

What else is there to it?

his paycheque to result ratio

When did you last voluntarily request a pay cut because you weren't doing a great job?

I have always asked for more money as I reduced my workload

Has he admitted as much?
Maybe he’s a bit more level now.
It’d be quite sad were it not for the huge pay cheque.

I don’t really get it either. It’s his career, if he wants to continue racing, even when he’s past his best, that is his prerogative.

He was never a rider for the spring, even in his heyday, so I’m not reading too much into his results yet anyway.

We should all be laughing at Valverde anyway, sliding out the back before the racing really started today, whilst still wearing leg warmers.

None of us actually know what he is paid anyway. It serves him and the team to let people believe he signed for mega doubloons.
It's not that long ago it was the entry-ticket to this thread's VIP room to mock Cadel Evans; until he won the Tour and then suddenly so many people had loved him all along.

“Don’t step on my dog!”

Froome has still won four more Tours and two more Vueltas than anyone on here.

On the other hand, has he ever stayed awake for 24 hours on the bike?

Or off it, for that matter.

froome has never posted a drop bar MTB on the arkose thread

Froome has never received a knighthood

He's also paid about €5.4m/yr than anyone on here.

However Slyvan Adams is paying that bill and fuck that guy so more power to Sir Chris MBE

Wasn't Sir Chris MBE (along with Chris OBE previously) payed by everyone's favourite alt-right enabler, Rupert Murdoch?

Sadly so

I was never a Froome fan but I'd probably enjoy it if he won another GT, just because i think it would be a monumental achievement ala tigers wood in 2019.

That’s all fine but the weird belligerence about how he was going to get back there despite his results wasn’t particularly endearing.

Great vlogger.
