    Look Froome's only problem is he has the ugliest style I've ever seen in the pro peloton, his team is strong to the point of tedium and no one can touch him at peak over 3 weeks.

    It's hardly a damning list.

    I'm with all this.

    The thing I like about Froome's riding style is the way some people get so wound up by it (one past poster in particular) :)

    I'm slightly suspicious of anyone who starts a sentence with "Look...". Matt White at Orica does it all the time. It's defensiveness, clutching at straws and an attempt at stamping authority all in one.

    Tonight, Matthew, I am a Flamer Troll...

    Worse than Aru and Zakarin? I think not.

    What's wrong with Zakarin?

    I don't mind Aru so much. At least he looks like he knows how his gears work.

    I'm just amazed he manages to stay on the bike. He's so unbalanced, and chucks it so far from side to side. Ugh.

    The same guy that loved Aru, who's style is the epitome of hideous.

    Aru's not that offensive when he's in the saddle.

    If you're defending Froome with regard to style, I'll just lump you in with the Kirby fans as a nutter who I ought to ignore.

    No, he's pretty ungainly on the bike.

    Froome already is a legend, he's won 3 Tours.

    I reckon he may win one more. I can't see him winning two more, too many good young riders coming through.
    He could of won the TdF in 2012 if it wasn't for team orders. I would of loved to see Froome leave Wiggins in his wake in the mountains!
    As for him leaving Team Sky, I can't see it myself.
    But 2017 could be interesting if he's already hinting at the Giro.

    He won't do the Giro - possibly never will again. His breathing issues in cold weather make it too unpredictable to target
