glossop saint Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Froome lost the yellow jersey yesterday. I still think that he has it in the bag with the last TT but it adds a new spice to the race. And that after it looked like sky had raced the perfect stage, I was just thinking how impressive yet predictable it was. Not any more hpoefully.

gogledd Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Anyone bee watching la Vuelta? Thoughts of Froome geeting red and yellow jerseys in one season? Probably makes him the most successful British GC cyclist and he still has many years to come. Why is it that people dont seem to like him? He seems a decent chap, always willing to praise his team and give compliments to other riders who pus him to his limits... yet he doesn't seem to get the plaudits other cyclists get. Anyone be watching the Tour of Britain? It didn't come through our patch (North Wales) this year so I've not seen it live but followed it on TV. Some big crowds again out watching, great to see the sport getting such huge support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froome comes across as introverted and private, which means we don't see his personality in the same way that we would with, say, Cavendish or Hoy.

It seems that. to a lot of people, the whole point of following a sport is to relentlessly hate a person or team for reasons that are either indescribably petty or completely imaginary.

Some big crowds again out watching, great to see the sport getting such huge support. Outstanding achievement by Froome. I thought the days of a rider winning two Grand Tours in a year were over. Puts him up there with some of the all time greats. We made the short hop across the Humber to sunny Scunny for the North Lincs. stage of the Tour of Britain. Really enjoyed it. There was a great atmosphere (the wind must have been in the right direction from the steelworks) and a very good turnout. Very impressed with the quality of the riders involved too.
