I'd say at this stage he's probably happy to just get any contract in the WT, even if it means a less than ideal position to go for individual wins.06-01-2026 00:59

Froome can form a one-man team with all the money IPT p*ssed away on him.06-01-2026 00:57

Good for him! Also, good for them - they needed some fresh legs.24-12-2025 02:00

Yeah, exactly. Compared to most of his main rivals - he's had no major crashes, significant injuries or time away from top form. That would be one of the defining details of his career to date. Which clanker churns out this guff?23-12-2025 05:24

What a pointless article. "you can beat him if he crashes" - wow, stunning insight. This is why you're the professional cycling journalist I suppose.23-12-2025 00:57

Cycling as a sport has one of the weakest merch games I've ever seen. I am a fan of the sport, and do not cycle myself - and there is a complete lack of opportunities for me as a fan of the teams or specific riders to hand them my money in ways that I can (and do) for other sports and musicians. It's all very well selling cycling kit to the fans who ride, but it's like Metallica only selling high end guitars and drums on their website. These teams could be making a not-insignificant amount of money by selling the kind of fandom merch that (unfortunately for them) only really exists on places like Etsy, made by third parties. I want to support the teams and riders I like, but there's hardly any way for me to do it as a non-riding fan. And if the sport really wants to expand, it needs to attract more fans like me, and good quality, well-designed merchandise is the way to do it. Not with cycling jerseys, the occasional embarrassing dad tshirt or fifty euro coffee mug.14-11-2025 14:02
