From Miami to Taiwan - Chris Froome and Mark Cavendish continue World Tour during the off-season
CyclingMonday, 02 December 2024 at 11:15
Mark Cavendish announced his retirement from pro cycling a few weeks ago and has since been moving around the world, and has yet again met Chris Froome. This time around the two are in Taiwan, exploring the culture and spreading the sport to a country in which there is a heavy bike manufacturing industry but a small amount of professional riders.
The two British Cycling legends were together already within the off-season Tour de France-owned criteriums (including Singapore, where Cavendish last raced) and then in Miami a few weeks ago. Chris Froome on his end is in the off-season and will race next season with Israel - Premier Tech. The seven-time Grand Tour winner recently also raced with Alberto Contador in an online racing platform, and is gearing up for what may be his last season in the peloton.

- Gotta? He doesn't come across very well. Great cyclist in his day but not exactly an interesting person or doer of great things since. He just bleats on about his self-esteem. Perfect for the woke age.Renz02-12-2024

- well, the “body of a champion” is the one that produces the best watts/kg. jonas’ ‘frail’ body weighs 6 - 8 kilos less than tadej. this doesn’t HURT his chances of winning. also, if he really is frail, i don’t know how in hell he came back from broken ribs and a punctured lung that fast and finish second in the Tour — fighting until the bitter end as phil points out. most NFL, NBA and MLB players seem considerably more frail compared to jonas.OCexile02-12-2024

- Thanks, we’re trying, it’s harder for the Mrs, I’ve been through more than my fair share of injustices in life so can keep a straight head when it matters. The problem is that journalists are too expensive for anything but the most serious and valuable stories so these days there is very little comprehensive reporting and texts are left to volunteer wannabees who have little regard for the consequences of publishing incomplete or angled stories. If you’re interested in anything you have to double check everything by doing further research. But, as most people aren’t really that interested and read most material for entertainment or distraction purposes or simply to have something to help promote their preconceived ideas, it has all become the accepted norm and we will never ever turn that back around as a society because we train humans to become more and more lazy and comfortable, including when it comes to brain use and critical thinking. There, that’s my bit said for Sunday ;-)Mistermaumau01-12-2024
