Don't get me wrong his achievements are undeniable but every time I hear him speak this ditty from the 80s goes through my head.I used to think your were allright,what a mistake 😁

Agreed, he's pretty bland but a gent. Am I allowed to say that?I think he's pretty boring being interviewed to be honest.Too nice if anything !
But as a rider I love him,his record/palmares speaks for itself.
Say what you want I asked him and he said he doesnt mind 😁Agreed, he's pretty bland but a gent. Am I allowed to say that?![]()
It's what sport is about liking and disliking isn't it ? I've liked Froome from the start,I like his awkwardness and his "niceness' whatever that is.I also like the way he's such a devisive cyclist.I find it odd that he's hated for what....winning ?I have something of an irrational dislike for him. It think irrationally disliking teams and individuals in sport is perfectly OK as long as it's confined to the sofa. It's just a natural extension of having favourites. I wouldn't take it as far as throwing buckets of wee at him or anything like that, or having a footy style punch up with @Adam4868![]()
On the other hand I'm still a hopeless one eyed Cav fan even though he is utterly decrepit and past it.

I found out today that Ovett's son Freddy rides for Israel Cycling Academy, so if the rumours are correct then Freddy and Froomie would become teammates!Froome...as much as I like Wiggins !
...
You forgot Coe v Ovett....can't fecking stand Coe ! 😁
I've got an 'Ovett Sportswear' T shirt someone bought me in the 80sI found out today that Ovett's son Freddy rides for Israel Cycling Academy, so if the rumours are correct then Freddy and Froomie would become teammates!
A 'niche' sport, I'd hazard a guess that more spectators turn out to watch each day of the TdF than attend any F1 race and that's each day mind you, multiply that by all the days and compare that to the whole season of the F1 calendar and I'd say more people actually watch the TdF and that's only one race.
I'm not a fan of Chris Froome, I think he's an arrogant bugger but then so is the whining Lewis Hamilton but both of them are certainly media darlings and if someone wants to pay them whatever then it's no skin off my nose. BTW my favourite 'sport' is barely covered but heroes like Steve Webster and Tony Hewitt hardly got any coverage when they were world champions admittedly Steve got an MBE but he was World Champion 10 times.
