Greybeard Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Any word on Froome being Knighted as was Wiggins after last year's tour. Perhaps it's unfortunate that he comes from the colonies.
Tumbleweed Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 I think Wiggins was knighted for his overall contribution to cycling in Britain. His palmares on the track must have contributed to the honour. T-Bob and Greybeard 2
andydude Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 I think Wiggins was knighted for his overall contribution to cycling in Britain. His palmares on the track must have contributed to the honour. Yeah he also won gold at the track olympics last year as well as all his previous track achievements. But they will probably give Froome a MBE, OBE a CBE for 2013 at the end of the year.

Blackbeard Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Knighthoods are given out like sweeties so I can't see why Froome wouldn't get one.

RexFuzzle Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Also, Wiggins was first brit, Froome was second brit to win... Big difference I think.
T-Bob Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Knighthoods are given out like sweeties so I can't see why Froome wouldn't get one. Probably because he's 2nd at the moment. 2nd in last years tour, 2nd pom to win the french race, second african born rider to wear the jersey... it's kinda ordinary for them now.  Fair dues to twiggy, his was a historic event and he's racked up enough golds and titles to get a 'sir' in front of him. Reckon Froome could get a CBE and if he wants to get down in bended knee then he'll have to up his game.

'Dale Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Knighthoods are given out like sweeties so I can't see why Froome wouldn't get one. Like Springbok jerseys...? Blackbeard and T-Bob 2
Jaco-fiets Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Also, Wiggins was first brit, Froome was second brit to win... Big difference I think. Also Wiggins was the biggest prick to ever win the tour. That there is knighthood2
