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 🏆🏆🏆🏆

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
@michaelmottlau20726 жыл бұрын
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.
