Honestly I'm shocked at how bad he is now. I wish him well.
Realistically he's not competitive, but still a nice guy
Agree, however ive zero sympathy for the owner of Israel cycling team. Its not hard to ascertain if Froome could still do 7watts per kg prior to agreeing to pay him 5 million euros a year, Lots of respect for Bernal stating that he isn't yet ready to lead a GC team. I wonder if another grand champion Lewis hamiltion will prove to be a super expensive none assets when he goes to Ferrari next year for a reported 45 million?
@@paulwebster4499 really good point. The pantheon of overpriced noncompetitive athletes is staggering. People like (and buy) the hype
Great and interesting video. Thank you!
Thanks for making this video. Well done. I've always liked Froomy and followed him in the races. I've always wondered what heights he could have achieved if he hadn't crashed.
Excellent video.
Thank you very much! appreciate that :)
Great job on the this video! He's was clearly dominant ifor a certain period and goes down in my book as aone of the Grand Tour legends. But he no longer has what it takes - a few kilos heavier and lacks the power to stay even mid pack at pro tour level. Its a shame
BTW Scott really good video 💪
Awesome rider and person. I really hope he makes it again this year
I don't know what you mean by "making it" but he probably won't either way. He's 38, he's injured and his last victory was in 2018. Not exactly a golden transfer from Israel Premier Tech but I guess they had money to burn
Froome is a champion 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆7 grand tour wins
Crap shoot if you recover to full form from a crash. Remco did. Alaphilippe did not. (2 wins last year so maybe he's back) Jakobsen did. Bernal did not. Etc.
Bernal did pretty darn good @ Camino last week, so hoping he comes back to something. Jakobsen does not to be @ same level as the top sprinters - he seems to be more in the Cadel camp vs the Jasper camp
8 wins last year and as many podiums.
Watch out for Bernal at Paris-Nice. He was contesting bonus seconds yesterday.
I don't think that he'll be taken to the Tour de France again this year as well.
No. I'm a HUGE fan of Froomey but he's done. He'll never race the TDF again. Not even an asset to take to help others unfortunately
Cheers
🤘🏻🇬🇧
Where is he racing in 2024?
Froome is a very strange case. I never saw a rider declining so brutally. Even taking into account his accident and his age, it's surprising.
i get what you are saying, but imho id say what IS surprising is how many riders do come back after really serious crashes. when it catches up with one such as Chris it's real sad, as i'm sure given the choice he would have gotten back to fitness quickly, as one who soars the highest has the furthest to fall. GL
Great video 👍 Froome was a great Champion but his biggest achievement in life is how he fought his way back to the pro peloton. But he should have then hanged up his bike instead of being a cyclist tourist finishing in gruppetto.
Froome's biggest achievement might be His current Salary
He should've retired that year and accepted a big compensation from Ineos. He chose the later.
Hes contracted out until 2027, so IPT are just using him for mercandising the group
He would be less rich haha
His decline can no longer be blamed on that accident, he was on the decline before that moment. When SKY recieved a new sponsor in INEOS the owner made it clear that anyone caught or involved with doping would result in the entire team being dissolved. Since the takeover Brailsford was moved on and Froome and others saw their dominace slide, clearly since 2019 Froome and many others from Sky days had stopped or reduced their doping
Absolutely. If you look at Froome’s results at ineos pre-crash, they weren’t fantastic. It isn’t that unusual for a rider of his kind to pick up form for the Tour, but something was off.
It is isn’t it 🤣🤣🤣
First
I thought this was gonna talk about how he figured that his seat post height was what was holding him back. 😂
Hahhahhahaha you're right I should have mentioned that
It was over the moment he took the doctors advice, and quit doping.
Exactly
His electric motor got took away
…let’s talk about motors?….😂
He was one of the ones who used a motor. This completely undermines anything he ever did. Good riddance to him. That 2013 Ventoux....
I used yo like him, though the crash in Dauphine not only broke his body, it's clear. I has broken his Brain, i have no love for him now, as in my view he's doing nothing but STEALING 💰💰💰💰 from Sylvain Adams owner of Israel Premier tech cycling team, while trying to build his RUclips channel. I did give him props for his second place behind Yom Pidcock in the TDF stage to alpe D Huez
Third place behind TOM!
@@leestrugnell3345 yeah I thought about it after, then saw something shiny and forgot to fix it. 🤷🏻
Whole thing was fake. Open your eyes.
Explain this one I’m intrigued
Shadow bann for previous doping. There is no evidence of the crash
@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1 @ days after a near death crash, sitting in bed with no bandages, drips, or evidence of a crash. Why hasn't he shown his massive scar from his leg surgery? Never happened, a false flag to cover up his massive doping, and slide him quietly out of the sport.
Wow - what a fantastic story! Have you got anymore? I love this @@graymcmic1419
When did you loin MAGA?@@graymcmic1419
