Chris Froome to test himself against weak field of Chinese 2.Pro race Tour of Hainan
CyclingWednesday, 04 October 2023 at 05:30
Chris Froome was most recently in action in the Czech Tour, where he retired from the race on the final fourth stage, and after two months without a race, he is now starting the Tour of Hainan.
The four-time Tour de France winner has struggled since his crash on his reconnaissance for the single start of the 2019 edition of the Critérium du Dauphiné and has been winless since 2018 when he won the Giro d'Italia.
In the Tour of Hainan, Froome gets the opportunity to test himself in a weak field, where Israel - Premier Tech is one of the few professional teams that will start.
In the race he will be joined by Sebastian Berwick, Itamar Einhorn, Omer Goldstein, Ben Hermans, Mason Hollyman and Taj Jones.

- There is one very important reason why cyclocross didn’t take off when it could have in the UK, TPs lack of charisma and talent to present a hero young kids (future generations) would want to emulate. The hero factor is tge single most effective tool in making niche sports popular. Yes, Belgium has the advantage of tradition and The Netherlands of being more committed to sport in general without biais towards the more popular ones which is why they excel at so many secondary sports, skating, hockey, rowing and you’ll almost always find a Dutch talent in any sport be it horse-riding, darts or chess. But really it’s a case of why does anyone expect any country to be good at every sport when it isn’t a collective top down philosophy and despite all the money that was pumped into the British system it is obvious they don’t have the right general attitude to sport to ensure each one attracts its disciplesMistermaumau18-12-2024
- WC hardly counts. - You couldn’t be further away from the truth.
