SwissVan Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) Chris Froome is a phenomenal Grand Tour PRO to reach the headlines over the last few years.In my mind, Froome Dog has to have his own thread here on the HubSA. 2013 is forecasted to be another cracker for this PRO who calls South Africa 'home'. http://www.roadcycling.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/field/image/chris_froome_wins_3.jpg PLACE YOUR CHIRPS, OPINIONS, VIEWS HERE. This thread is intended to recognize, track and chirp about Froome Dawg's race moves, any cool updates and cycling accomplishments. If you want to have a doping discussion, please refer to the Dopers' thread or start a unique discussion elsewhere. Do you in all honesty think CF should be discussed in the dopers thread? Respect your wishes but then edit your OP to reflect it should not contain any uncool stuff. Edited July 8, 2013 by SwissVan GaryvdM 1
'Dale Posted July 8, 2013 Author Posted July 8, 2013 Do you in all honesty think CF should be discussed in the dopers thread? Respect your wishes but then edit your OP to reflect it should not contain any uncool stuff. The spirit of the OP reflects a positive view and appraisal of the man.That's clear enough. EZRider 1
'Dale Posted July 9, 2013 Author Posted July 9, 2013 Froome Dawg displayed immense character on Stage 9 to defend yellow.Totally isolated from his Team Sky support. TeamSky declared that they've learnt their lessons from Sunday's racing.
Wyatt Earp Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 The Spanish Armada did not take our man down! I posted this just now in the Tour thread.Pretty scary to be honest, this guy has balls, skill and experience. “My condition is not brilliant but I improve every day in the grand tours,” said Contador. “I feel my best in the third week. Froome is very strong, but we saw during the Vuelta last year that he struggled in the third week, so we need to wait and not think that it’s impossible.
Bat-ass Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 The "Spanish Armada" failed to capitalize on a golden opportunity on sunday.... I hope AC's fighting talk does come together next week to make for exciting racing in the Alps... But Froome Dawg all the way!!! As for the doping speculation.... Dont speculate, just enjoy the tour and let doping control do their job..... If there are possitive tests this year... then we spit on them!!! until then, just enjoy! dracs 1
Bianchisti Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Anything is questionable and in the case of professional cycling its going to be questioned when someone like CF does what he has done so far. Unfortunate truth is something like this is never clear cut as there are a lot of variables, unknowns and presumptions going on. The only certainity is that time will tell and i for one hope this time its good news Yeah me too! Correct me if I'm wrong I got the feeling those in the know wanted us to believe that 6.4w/kg is just not possible without some illegal juice. But of course, it would be against human nature not to develop the ways and means to allow us to improve continually. I think there is always the possibility of CF taking things to the next level (otherwise how then does Usain Bolt achieve this). It has to be wait and see, although the skepticism is fully understandable. SwissVan 1

jcza Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Michelle Cound@michellecound2mIf he treated you all equally based on one bad apple, he probably wouldn't answer any of your questions, yet he treats you with respect?! DIPSLICK 1

Tumbleweed Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Not sure...photographer? Wonder what lead to the outburst? Peeved with all the questions that the press are asking about Froome's performance?
SwissVan Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Peeved with all the questions that the press are asking about Froome's performance? Unfortunately its part and parcel, tallest tree catches the most wind or something like that.... I'm not sure if MC is doing CF any favors with some of her statements?
Bianchisti Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Peeved with all the questions that the press are asking about Froome's performance? All that must come with the territory surely. I dont think anyone will ever be able to lead the Tour without having to deal with this.

If you want to have a doping discussion, please refer to the Dopers' thread or start a unique discussion elsewhere. Are you an admin? Otherwise I'll post what I like here. I like what David Walsh said: "Scepticism is good, cynicism not so good." I really would like to see CF do well, but if he's not clean, it's all for nothing. I really hope he is clean.
