Road World Championships (Spoilers)

FFS, compare them if you want when they've retired.
I just love the way Froome rides stage races and the intensity Wiggins brings to controlled environment racing. What perplexes me about the Wiggo cult is the very anal passionless riding style SKY got slated for in road racing happens to be Wiggins recipe for success (and indeed a goodly amount team GB's track record). Froome by comparison is the ad hoc, free spirit improvisor.

I don't see froome winning many more grand tours. Sky don't have the team anymore to haul him around. Too much competition now compared to when he took his first

Quoted for ridicule next year.

Haven't been impressed with froome sine last year. He looks a spent force in his efforts. Think he is over training and tries to do too much himself now.

Maybe you should phone sir Dave and tell him he is over working Froome...second in the last grand tour of the year and thats after spending the first 2 weeks of that tour yo- yoing up the climbs

A spent force is a joke of a comment

Oooh I missed that "spent force" comment. Glad you captured it for ridicule next year too.

well yes - good point - compare their palmares is what I meant

 

[smutchin]

I like Froome. And I like Wiggo. But which is best? Only one way to find out...

 

[Beebo]

The British team are targeting Ben Swift for the win.
His current odds are 50/1.

Men have the following
U23
Junior
Elite.

When do you change from being u23 to a junior (or vice versa)?

Apparently you are a junior if you are under the age of 19.
