Gen Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Oh we are speaking g about Froome.. why I don't like him 1.. he looks ridiculous on his bike and is still going to cause one big accident because of his elbows2... his wife is terrible at PR3... he is becoming rather arrogant when saying things like.. he could win the TDF another five times.. 4.. he has started whining a bit.5. he looks like a harry Potter character.
Matchstix Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 After I read "breaking the chain" by willy voet, I presumed most of the top guys are using something. Lance included(the only reason they didn't find him guilty at time in my opinion was there was too much money involved) Is froome dirty? If he gets caught I won't be surprised
Patchelicious Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 Because at the moment he appears to be that much stronger than the rest of the contenders. That and society seems to either treat like gods or knock off perch not much middle ground.Awesome point!! Thank you, such a relief. Does he really seem that much stronger though? I refer back to the two big attacks in the TdF, first was when Froome won and created a lead, then later the Alp d Huez by Quintana. Both incredible attacks, but only one drew criticism.
Patchelicious Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 Well I like him more than Mr funny beef Contador and how did my blood get there Valverde. Quintana disappears for months at a time and rocks up for June/July. But, we want to flame the only guy who has shared his data? I dont mind a good flaming, but there should be the same amount of bashing for Contador, Valverde and the likes.Lets just add"We Get to Keep our License Astana" into that little list. A performance that I find suspect was how strongly they came back after a rest day, where they had blood transfusions done. Think it was the Giro?
fanievb Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Patch do you like the guy yes or no? is jy nie op honeymoon nie?

Both incredible attacks, but only one drew criticism.Ja that was nogal a thing hey.. but froome mos said he was feeling ill towards the end of the tour. Think it was more a case of the damage he did after the first rest day the way he did it (that attack) that had everyone.. huh. . And that he seemed to show zero strain while the others looked completely out of sort that added to me going huh. The quintana attack ..it was something he didn't look as if it was just easy going. If I remember correctly Quintana tried a couple of attacks that last week that didn't work and even on the "I won a Giro helmet stage" it looked like a last chance to limit time loss attack.
tombeej Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Currently the list of evidence against Froome for doping (I'm referring to actual evidence here, not 'claims of proof' from armchair scientists using a stopwatch and calculator while watching the telly) is as follows: 1. 'Caught' using an asthma inhaler during stage 2 of the 2014 Criterium du Dauphine. .... and that's it. All of it. A note to the above charge: After the s~~~storm that erupted from outraged fans, they had to be reminded that you don't even need a TUE for a standard Salbutamol-based inhaler, and that he's been using it since a young lighty for his well known exercise-induced asthma issues. I'm an asthmatic, and I use a similar inhaler on a daily basis. I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that it does absolutely zero for my athletic performance. All it does it allow me to maybe just breathe like a normal person. A pretty basic human right, I'd say.
SwissVan Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Because at the moment he appears to be that much stronger than the rest of the contenders. That and society seems to either treat like gods or knock off perch not much middle ground. Eh? Froome beat Quintana by about 70 seconds over 3 weeks and 3300 km...that's leaving it a bit close for someone who is supposedly so much better than the rest. IMO he nearly lost it on those last mountain stages... if it wasn't for a few time gaps gained in the beginning.....

I think he is on strike 2 with those. .

If you put your tin foil hat back on, you would know that he was doing that to make it look closer than it actually was!
tombeej Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Froome's main crime is that he wasn't born French. And worse, he's an Englishman. If he was a Frog he'd be a god.

Yeah..well at least he is modest because if that was the case he could have won by 10 minutes and really made the others look baad Tinfoil hats pah...Bio friendly i am
