Decent and humble guy. Respect, Froomey.

[@paulcaslick2325]

I raced motorcycles for 48 years. But my real, first deep passion for 2 wheels was the bicycle. It was one or the other, something I regret choosing the engine form. I cycle now more than ever because of good guys like Chris Froome. Such a moving story, such a humble, fine human being. Imagine the world full of genuine people like Chris 🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@keithprothero9614]

In my opinion the greatest cyclist since Eddy. Such a humble guy . Thanks for a fine documentary

[@kripkenstein]

Chris Froome is my biggest inspiration from the sports world. To come from Africa and to achieve what he has achieved is beyond imagination for some. His resilience and mental toughness should be shown as example for every young kid.

[@leftymadrid]

I do hope you recover my friend, you are in many people's thoughts :-) God speed!

[@charlesr2800]

This documentary made me know things about Froome that I didn´t know before

[@nomdaploom]

Chris Froome is without doubt the best of his generation of professional cyclists and one of a very select few whom history will remember as a superstar. Along with many others I wish him a speedy and complete recovery from his horrific accident on the Criterium de Dauphine.

[@richardharley1961]

And now we learn that Cobo was doping during the 2011 Vuelta when Froome came 2nd, so Froome actually won. Even more impressive.

[@cashkung6161]

so froome actually beat cobo in the mountain, would've won the vuelta if he wasnt riding for wiggins, while everyone else was left in the dust. and froome's performance isnt suspicious in the slightest when the only guy that could keep up was doped?

[@diphje]

he's doping too, only difference is he didn't get caught yet.

[@ironcicadamkw5241]

@@diphje Dude, he's on Team Sky/Ineos. He's not doping. They are a machine. They will literally kill him if he doped. He's a clean rider, just look into the training and fueling plans that team can accomplish. stfu about conspiracy bs.

[@MrBusunglueck]

@@ironcicadamkw5241 he did have a positive test thought didnt he?

[@jakubandacky5756]

[@maxtosi3211]

what an amazing story I am truly emotional at this moment because I was not aware about the story behind...wow what a human human being and a champion!

[@09ookami]

Treasure this man. It'll be years before we see another like him.

[@bikerbruce1988]

You didn’t have to wait long…Jonas Vingegaard is the same, from obscurity to the the top of the world in his mid 20’s.

[@tobiasdencker853]

We only had to wait a few years

[@BikeSixty6]

No wonder, he became one of the best. He's so humble

[@Dan-dd8cf]

Jesus Chirst, that focus! Mum dying, and he didn't see her for the last year of her life. Certainly dedicated!

[@riccardoguareschi7115]

Such a humble and respectful man...even if he clearly had faster legs than Wiggins, he kept his role. Other people would have put the designated leader and the whole team in an embarrassing spot

[@fernandog.aguirre2791]

Amazing kid, amazing and humble guy, amazing athlete,,,,amazing champion! Go Chris Go!!!!

[@fmc6338]

Great to see a champion with humility!!!

[@Shouldbeeasier]

Froome is one of the top 10 sports people of the 2000's. You can put him in the same bracket as Bolt, Messi etc.

[@zigzagnemesist5074]

Yes I agree 100%. He is an elite athlete

[@user-zx1ir7jt4c]

excellent documentary! Chris Froome... one of the good guys

[@Cyclingchoice]

Six years later, he got that Red Jersey!

[@steeptachanka2867]

The story of his mother brought me to tears

[@veg]

Chris Froome is a real fighter!

[@zigzagnemesist5074]

Best cyclist since Merckx, will definitely go down as a legend in sport

[@martinmcdaniel5173]

Chris is a amazing guy and cyclist I have asthma and he is a inspiration to me well done Chris I followed Stephen Roche and they all said he doped that's sick shame on those people froome is genuine

[@jimjr4432]

It is June 23, 2018 and I really hope he will be cleared of an drug abuse charges. I really do like that guy. Class!

[@JRA73]

Well Mr Froome is definitely a breath of fresh air and exactly how a person should apply himself.

[@And-rc9yy]

Now awarded the 2011 Vuelta win and today we see him making an incredible recovery from the horror crash that six weeks ago had many writing him off. Superhuman.

[@7tom1ja]

sure, he was just human before that Vuelta; I wonder what has happened

[@andyolsen4517]

*Apparently* he fixed his asthma and his glandular like fever *cough cough*

[@humstrumbangtwang]

4 times winner and counting......incredible!

[@JanKowalski-pe9lo]

Damn... He wont be on Salbutamol anymore. Do he win 5th time?

[@berkesahan3766]

Let's see dude! I'm so curios on that Tour de France. Good luck for Movistar btw.*

[@whk759]

With the same "program" : Lance is 7 times winner...

[@slyburner123]

Froome is Lance 2.0. In some years we'll see him confess at Oprah's.

[@cuckooreloaded]

@@JanKowalski-pe9lo nah he crashed so hard at the Critérium du Dauphine 2019

[@MrX-ys2cd]

thanks for uploading it in HD!

What a great documentary really enjoyed it..Some man is Chris

[@tomjojo849]

a gentleman and a great athlete on two wheels.all the best for the future.

[@shifttube1283]

its just something about how they raise kids in south Africa and Africa in general that makes great road cyclist

[@k14l___90]

Chris Froome, best 4 ever. Hope he win this years Tour.

[@turnpike]

[@jakelazell5306]

[@RHP-pw8xt]

[@daveblackett4996]

a true champion. and brilliant documentary,

[@royalewithcheese5639]

Froome I am rooting for you...Tour De France 2020

[@hawkeye7862]

Awesome documentary

[@eduardocortes-dv4lo]

Grande Sr. Froome. Un verdadero ejemplo!!!

[@joeols90]

Team Sky really handled the situation with a back-up ride out performing the captain much better this time in Tour de France 2018. I'm pretty sure that was only because the captain this time (Froome) had a much clearer self-image and realized that Thomas had a better shot.

[@andyolsen4517]

Bradley thought he was too great to be out performed

[@tomloa245]

what emotion

[@hernanduarte9904]

Great cyclist and person too. However, It is true that a Tour of France is not won just by a single rider, it is won by a team. Team Sky definitely the strongest one.

[@vaux_manvv7520]

What a genuinely nice human.

[@JT-fn4eu]

A truly great great champion .

[@OP04player]

Beautiful 😭

[@melaniamonicacraciun9900]

Keep up be strong everybody & love cycling, the most exciting adventure of life above all, you can bet on it, very cute this documentary, big loving hug Froomey, never stop believe in, for me cycling lovers are the best people in the world..no matter what

[@DrunkieCat]

Oh man chris is such a lovable guy with a great personality. I'll never be a fan of his riding style even tho he won many races with it, but still an inspiration to me and many people.

[@CarlosPF94]

Man how I want to make the Tour, sounds delusional but my heart.... pushes for that so I gotta follow

[@Pianosphere]

Wow! What a taking personality!

Will he be back. Let’s just wait and see. What a spectacle if it happens.

[@veg]

I see Froome with other eyes now!

[@anderskrgaard1653]

was it when he cheated his way to the WC or the part where a poor guy asked for some spare change from the multimillionaire and he said no and right after said it is hard seeing all the poor people in Kenya and South Africa? :D

[@stephentuthill4598]

Subutamol...

[@AKindChap]

He's been cleared now...

[@Peterkramer929]

proud captain of the sky-asthma team

[@cmetube]

He gives everyone hope that they too can win with their asthma and FEV1 < 0.8. After all it is asthma, COPD and it does result in pulmonary hypertension and severe limits on ones capacity to breathe let alone be the best in the world. Obviously his lungs with asthma are better than the lungs of top athletes without asthma. Of course his asthma is real and clinically symptomatic. (Not!) My asthma gets better with strenuous exercise over a long time; of course, superman Chris Froome's doesnt and hence his special *need* for salbutamol.

[@bobg6715]

Morungaro.... The Straight One, such a great character Froome. This documentary summed it all up... now I am even a bigger fan of Chris Froome 💪❤️

[@chrissicrossy7000]

Damn thats one tough man!

[@bigring6424]

9:39, now we know where he learned to tuck.

[@TheMASDrummer]

The GOAT

[@institorisinstitoris959]

David Walsh in documentary about Armstrong and in documentary about Froome - two different persons. He is suspicious about Lance from the beginning but for the similar stage winnings of Froome he says "tough as a nail". The guy trained with blood cells problem and recovered and won Tour and it's all ok for Mr Walsh but he was very suspicious about Lance. And finally, after Froome's incredible performance journalists, rightly so, asked about dope and Walsh said it's because of Lance... I'm not talking about Froome here, I really don't know if he uses something... but David Walsh clearly has double standards.

[@michaelabbott2345]

Or he trades in facts rather than suspicion. Just a thought??

[@aidankelly2222]

Bokke Pruiker and he’s Irish

[@tomvandeplassche]

Gods sake every pro rider is on doping you otherwise simply cant win these races, its a thing you need to get over with, it sucks but that is how it is

[@Sobchak2]

Institoris Institoris I guess it is because Lance and Chris Froome had very different body structure. Lance went from being a man for 1 day races who struggled to climb, to winning 7 TdF. That was much more fishy than if he had the right body structure for a tour/giro/vuelta in the first place. I am not commenting on whether or not CF is taking anything, because I have no elements to do so. I am just saying why one scenario looks more suspicious than the other.

[@michaelmottlau2072]

Well said because they are all on some kind of doping to keep up with that speed. - "but you need to get over with it" in morally wrong on a deep level, because then the big companies behind the sponsorship of the Tour De France has won. Then it´s ONLY about big business and big money and ONLY about winning - a cold game.

[@valhalliwell]

Comparing Froome and Armstrong at the final stretch of a race should put to bed any speculation that they're similarly fueled.

[@JosephWhiteley]

Valerie Halliwell Yep judges do base evidence and cases off coincidences

[@JC-ko1bp]

well Armstrong is in another league to Froome. hes much better. could still both be cheating, just armstrong is better at baseline

[@samuelpadfield193]

And Geraint Thomas has done the same thing to Froome in the 2018 Tour de France

[@RadiuI]

Samuel Padfield it was a last minute thing for Gerraint to win but Bradley obviously knew Chris was good and better than him at some things and he could win

[@richfairclough123]

Hope Froome remembers this with Thomas this year!!
