Eurosport expert Robbie McEwen has once again come forward in support of Chirs Froome. He believes Froome is a “definite contender” for at least a stage win in Vuelta a Espana.
He pointed out Froome’s bronze in the twelfth stage of the Tour de France. “I would say same goes for Chris Froome. He's not a GC contender. But after his third place on the Alpe d'Huez, he's a definite contender to win a stage,” said McEwen.

He continues, “And I think the same, having finished third in the Tour, pick your days go when you feel good, give it everything, recover. Don't ride for GC, and that's how they're going to have success.”
As a two-time winner of the Vuelta a Espana, Froome is no stranger to the race. He was involved in a life-threatening crash at the Criterium du Dauphine in 2019. He fractured his neck, femur, hip, elbow, and ribs and was out of competitive action for eight months. The last grand tour of the season will see him represent Israel-Premier Tech.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
