Chris Froome's wife Michelle brands Muslims "a drain on modern society" and "not compatible with modern civilization" in shocking Twitter rant
CyclingTuesday, 16 April 2024 at 18:07
The wife of the legendary Chris Froome, Michelle has sensationally made social media headlines this Monday by launching into a shocking rant on her official X (Twitter) account.
In the wake of pro-Palestinian activists calling for "more protests than ever" against the team Froome plies his trade for nowadays, Israel - Premier Tech, Michelle took to her social media to vent her frustrations in such a manner that upon first glance, looked almost certain to be the result of a hacking. According to Cycling Weekly however, they reached out to Chris Froome who did not deny his wife was the one to have written the inflammatory comments.

"First they’ll come for Israel, then the rest of the world. Be warned.. it doesn’t end here. I support Israel. I support my Israeli and Jewish friends. Return the hostages and stop trying to extort money out of the world for your luxury villas in Qatar. We see you," Michelle Froome writes. "I’m sick of sitting idly by quietly supporting Israel while the Hamas propaganda takes over social media. Enough is enough! The silent majority needs to stand up and be heard. We don’t want your religion, we don’t want your beliefs. It is not compatible with modern civilization."
"Muslims are no longer the minority they claim to be. They are here to take over. The UK, France, they are happy to claim the benefits but will not integrate into those communities. They will continue to TAKE what suits them. They are a drain on modern society," she continues. "It’s time people stop pandering to the political correctness. It’s all a facade. They burned babies alive. They deserve no remorse what so ever. This is just the beginning. WAKE UP."
The Israel - Premier Tech team have already removed all mention of Israel from their team bus due to the ongoing conflict and the threat of protests as a "precautionary measure."
Cycling Weekly also reached out to the Israel - Premier Tech team for a comment about Michelle Froome's tweets. "Any comments or beliefs made public by third parties associated with the team’s riders or staff do not represent Israel–Premier Tech, its team members, or its partners," responded a team's spokesperson.

leedorney15-05-2025 - and his "worst" result - 7th in TTmobk14-05-2025
- Mads Pedersen is an absolute beast. He really didn't look like he'd make it up that last climb, but he dug very deep, and was there when it mattered in the end. Three stage wins in the first five stages is very impressive indeed.
santiagobenites14-05-2025 - On one side, he was unhappy due to the TDF no, but i suppose money and other aspects made the differenceabstractengineer14-05-2025
- True, but, Mads has a few more years of collection and his season’s tally will start levelling off whereas Jonas’ should be just starting so even if Mads overtakes him, it’s probably briefly. That now all being clear, obviously the greatest is Tony Rominger, at least that’s their most popular male cyclist, which is another way of saying he must have been great :-) Hey, sorry but if someone’s going to ask rabbit-hole questions, you can only expect rabbit-hole answers.Mistermaumau14-05-2025
- Yeah, “little guy” who already beat Groenewegen and Merlier ;-) Also love how the media overhype anything in cycling, TNT saying this was a HUGE win for the team, let’s go back to using superlatives corresponding to reality. An important win maybe but c’mon, 50 points more than second when we’re at 20000? Had the team gotten 4th 5th and 6th and missed the podium completely they’d have collected more points but NO-ONE except themselves would have written one single word about their performance. Still well done to them for proving that the stage 3 pundit criticism about the little guys was unnecessary.Mistermaumau14-05-2025
- The ranking points between Jakob Fuglsang and Jonas Vingegaard is huge, BTW.. about 6700 ranking points. Mads trails Jonas by 14 points.FredMan14-05-2025
- Greatest ever? Based on CyclingRanking.com, Rolf Sorensen is #1, Jakob Fuglsang is #2, Jonas Vingegaard is #3, and Mads Pedersen is a very close #4. If you'd rather rely on personal opinion, or favorites, or what not, it's anybody's guess.FredMan14-05-2025
- I love it when the "little guy" wins!acem8214-05-2025
- Yeah, TdF is completely overrated, only amateurs and has-beens participate. And little ole skimpy Jonas has only won it as often as Switzerland or The Netherlands or Germany and Australia combined. Prestigewise there is NO comparison until he wins either the WC again or something big coz sorry G-W is basically a 2nd rate race at their level and he’s not won much else except a decent collection of stages, which Jonas and plenty of sprinters win too. Until now, MP is about pulling level with Asgreen who also won stages and classics, was a WC and HE got himself a monument and almost as many almosts as Mads but in a career only half as long.Mistermaumau13-05-2025
lol So ass master dick head posted "She is not wrong, and you are a fool" Who is that message directed to?
mvdpsucksatmtb +10
But it’s not completely clear for which particular reason he’s considered a fool, for his world view or for expecting better from the Froome entourage.
The top comment standing out above normally (bar technical problems) is also visible in context within the thread.
This comments section has been an interesting read and wins hands down for the number of posts. The problem I have with the way this comments section is set up is that I have no idea who is responding to who? Is it just me, am I doing somehing wrong or are others confused too?
It’s not well done, neither clear to follow or easy to answer correctly, takes a bit of concentration and getting used to.
I guess the « designer » never thought about or intended for commenting to progress to discussion seeing that today most people believe they can summarise things, express themselves and make themselves understood with 3 words and an emoji.
In a longer or more interesting thread, I kind of expect people to be attentive enough to be able to link matters together but it’s true that some posts remain pretty ambiguous as to what or who they concern (probably at least partially deliberately).
Spot on! 😁
Agreed. It feels so cringe af :p
I am always unpredictable af :p enjoyed cycling news, because they lack one thing: Ukrainians🤣. Because UCI probadly won't tolerate any riders shout "Ban all the Russians/Belarusians!" in the races anyway. Or people will call them "lunatics!" just ask Paula Bedosa and Sloane Stephens =p
Politics and Sport always a good mixture NOT
Not really. Just ask Paula Bedosa
That’s what I like about you, you keep everyone guessing what you’re on about ;-)
Am sure most don’t have a clue and now that I state I couldn’t find anything relevant I don’t think they’ll try :-)
😂
Since when have they not been mixed?
Berlin Olympics
US and USSR boycotts
Women’s participation
Gender categories
Racial segregation
Munich Olympics
Symbolism worn
Event honouring
National favouritism
Host advantage
Medal tables according to nationalities
Sport talent citizenships
Sponsorship
Budget distribution
Apartheid (now revisited)
Etc., etc.
Politics=society, sports are part of society (for quite a few even a priority and defining part) and culture, you can decide to keep your head in the sand about everything or just the parts you don’t wish to see but that doesn’t change the fact that they are (since quite a long time) completely inseparable.
And especially in the West, we should take care not to criticise everything before checking if it’s hypocritical when seen from outside our biased perspectives.
The more people try to keep politics out their lives, the more power is given to the fanatics on either end to decide policies for us.
🤐🤐🤐
1. Thank God that society isn't politics! Otherwise we'd all be responsible for the evils of the State that controls our territory!
2. The State and its worshipers are fanatical about keeping or increasing its power.
3. Your last sentence reminds me of a "great" man:
“Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State.” Benito Mussolini
4. The State doesn't build, it takes, it destroys, it divides. It's naked force that we are expected to pretend has clothes.
Society and the market build and unite. They allow us to better each other *while* we better ourselves. They allow peaceful cooperation.
The more State (politics) you have, the more divided, angry, and violent people will be, period.
When I saw her comments highlighted on here I groaned inwardly. I try to keep politics out of cycling. It's hard to do that at times when you see the politics of the nations that sponsor teams. Reading the comments on here I am relieved and so glad that the majority so far who have posted see her comments as being misguided.
I agree with you and you’re lucky my long post didn’t upload but I will counter that
petrostates are not really doing anything differently than we did in the past if you look at where most of the money for sports, arts, culture etc. came from, they just don’t have the need or knack of how to fly under the radar so only the relevant people end up knowing about it.
And, obviously, amongst a huge range of questions she’s unlikely to ever have asked herself, she doesn’t seem to realise why it’s possible in the first place that so many people living fromsport now earn huge amounts.
Petrol didn’t start with petrostates which basically came around through the nationalisation of colonialist infrastructure.
Yeah. Just look at those Political puppets of Ukraine. They even said "Ban all the Russians!" as if it would change anything. They suck at every sports you can imagine. Even tennis. I am not a pro-Russian. Like Ben assume me to be a "pro-Russian troll" eventhough I am uninterested with politics.
Oh! [Elina] Svitolina, [Ukrainian tennis players] even said "Sometimes, you cannot saperate sports from politics" sounds stupid does it?
Things compatible with our modern civilisation
Kids swearing at their parents and teachers
Parents beating up teachers for disciplining their unruly children
Football hooligans
Beer throwing cycling spectators
Road rage
Child pornography, abuse and murder
Insider trading
Hush money
Drunk driving
Nepotism
White collar theft
60 seconds is as much as I’m going to lose on thinking about the ills of today’s world that rarely involve Muslims but feel free to extend the list of immorality the privileged and « better kind » of people are susceptible to.
Oh no! Not again🙄🤐🤐🤐
Yeah sorry, cycling news is scarce at the moment.
If your comments were a bit deeper or argued, we could avoid the off topics, up to you :-)
Always give random comments even on non cycling news😂. Can't help my self at times. But, thank you😅
Realising is the first step :-)
Just look at Orthodox jews, just as loony as their Muslim cousins (and yes they are distant cousins, just the the Irish protestants and catholics ;-)
Slightly smarter perhaps, coz they managed to get out of conscription (until now). In fact, how is Israel any better than Iran or SA or a bunch of countries, they ALSO pay their most fanatical to stay put and study « religion »
What an ignorant B. As if our colonial forefathers integrated in the countries they plundered and did all their enslaving, genocides and conquering in a civilised manner.
Make no mistake lady, half my family was wiped out in camps in Germany, I know plenty about everyone’s history. That’s no excuse for continuing to have a biaised point of view several generations on. Even my grandfather who was basically an unknown male Anna Frank could see how Israel (a place he refused to move to) was in the wrong in most of its actions.
He never forgave those responsible but did business with the next generation of Germans and went skiing in Austria all his life.
most religious extremists are a drain on our society regardless of denomination
check out those who want to keep women down
Don’t even need to search out the extremists, even the most mainstream pillars in our « civilised » society and religions look at women as something to keep at a distance.
If it’s a temptation thing, the must be bloody undisciplined coz they can’t even keep their hands or other things off little boys.
Lots of religious "extremists" are wonderful for the society!
(YT video, "How Christianity changed the world", that apparently caused my first response to be deleted.)
That is not such a smart statement. Chris will be very happy with this probably 😁
Replace Muslims with Africans and THEN Chris will be happy.
I wonder if Michelle knows the difference or do they all look the same in England and France, by which she probably means London and Paris or maybe just Knightsbridge and Place Vendôme? Maybe she’s jealous all the qatari ladies got one of those handbags (not mentioning brands here) she had her eye on and was refused.
