First
Excellent video.
Crap shoot if you recover to full form from a crash. Remco did. Alaphilippe did not. (2 wins last year so maybe he's back) Jakobsen did. Bernal did not. Etc.
I don't think that he'll be taken to the Tour de France again this year as well.
Great video 👍 Froome was a great Champion but his biggest achievement in life is how he fought his way back to the pro peloton. But he should have then hanged up his bike instead of being a cyclist tourist finishing in gruppetto.
He would be less rich haha
His electric motor got took away
I used yo like him, though the crash in Dauphine not only broke his body, it's clear. I has broken his Brain, i have no love for him now, as in my view he's doing nothing but STEALING 💰💰💰💰 from Sylvain Adams owner of Israel Premier tech cycling team, while trying to build his YouTube channel. I did give him props for his second place behind Yom Pidcock in the TDF stage to alpe D Huez
BTW Scott really good video 💪
Whole thing was fake. Open your eyes.
Great and interesting video. Thank you!
It was over the moment he took the doctors advice, and quit doping.
Froome's biggest achievement might be His current Salary
Realistically he's not competitive, but still a nice guy
Where is he racing in 2024?
His decline can no longer be blamed on that accident, he was on the decline before that moment. When SKY recieved a new sponsor in INEOS the owner made it clear that anyone caught or involved with doping would result in the entire team being dissolved. Since the takeover Brailsford was moved on and Froome and others saw their dominace slide, clearly since 2019 Froome and many others from Sky days had stopped or reduced their doping
Honestly I'm shocked at how bad he is now. I wish him well.
He should've retired that year and accepted a big compensation from Ineos. He chose the later.
Great job on the this video! He's was clearly dominant ifor a certain period and goes down in my book as aone of the Grand Tour legends. But he no longer has what it takes – a few kilos heavier and lacks the power to stay even mid pack at pro tour level. Its a shame
Froome is a champion 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆7 grand tour wins
It is isn’t it 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for making this video. Well done. I've always liked Froomy and followed him in the races. I've always wondered what heights he could have achieved if he hadn't crashed.
He cant use his drugs for his tropical decease anymore which gave him more red blood cells, so created a fall that nobody has seen, so thats why he cant win anymore is it?, LMAO
Hes contracted out until 2027, so IPT are just using him for mercandising the group
Froome is a very strange case. I never saw a rider declining so brutally. Even taking into account his accident and his age, it's surprising.
Awesome rider and person. I really hope he makes it again this year
…let’s talk about motors?….😂
I thought this was gonna talk about how he figured that his seat post height was what was holding him back. 😂
He was one of the ones who used a motor. This completely undermines anything he ever did. Good riddance to him. That 2013 Ventoux….
