I'll be giving his elbows lots of room.
Would Chris get more press coverage than this guy?

I think he's just one of those people that really loves riding a bike. Can't see Froome doing this kind of thing.
I think it's the upwards bit that's his problem

Pah...he's playing the underdog card otherwise known as doing a Allaphilipe "my legs don't feel that great"I think it's the upwards bit that's his problem

That's sad to see. If he was in a good confident place then the armchair critics wouldn't even register in his subconscious.

When he got to the "those people clearly don't know me as a person" bit I immediately thought that although he's right, it's also true that he doesn't know what it's like to get old; no-one does, until it happens to them. On top of the injury, on top of the missed training, on top of the screws holding his legs together, he's two years older. That's a lot to overcome, and determination isn't necessarily enough.
I wish him the best of luck - I' love to see a TdF that's open and combative, but I will be very surprised (and impressed) if Froome is in the mix for the yellow jersey again. Still, winning all the Grand Tours is not a bad career is it?

I hope this translates as "do you know who I am " 😆

Sadly, microsoft says it doesn't. The actually translation is almost as good though.

I would love Froome to start winning again
but I think the injuries came when he was quite old for an extreme elite athlete - and then the pandemic just made it worse
I think it is too late
but then I thought that about Cav - so I still hope
if positive thoughts help - he has mine!!!
just one more TdF!!!!!!!

The key thing about this - which some of you plebs may not have noticed - is that he is described as a
"randonneur"
Yes, Audaxers - he's officially one of us now!
