I think he's doing the right thing - as long as he's an athlete he's got a reason to push his rehab as far as he can and he is going to be thankful of that in retirement.
As far as winning bike races again goes though doesn't look good does it - if he was early 20s you might think ride as a domestique for a couple of years and see if that strength returns but at his age after his success that seems an unlikely way to go.
Just for s&g lets compare Froome's time off with Lance Armstrong's false reirement. LA was near enough 38 when he came back in 09 and Froome is going to be 36 - LA was 'possibly' hitting the juice during all his pre TdF work but also recovering from a broken collarbone so I reckon we can say they are equal (bare with me ). Froome aint gonna get anywhere near 3rd. So what does this prove?
Nothing - come to think of it I'm not sure why I brought it up........
'Do not compare your bike to others, for always there will be greater and lesser bikes'
I keep coming back to it and finding more nuggets.
I like how a good 2/3rds of the way in, which is the worst period possible on a turbo (as you are feeling like death but the finish is still a fair bit away), he drops Jack Johnson better together.
Fair to say Froome is someone not really into music. That playlist is someone just using background noise. Either 'shuffle' of compiled by someone else.

understatement of the year my friend.
tbh though, i honestly think it is his choice of tunes - he doesn't seem the most interesting person in the world....
as we know, Boonen likes to get mad with it as well as win everything and generally be utterly cool - I can't really see Froome doing more than dressing like James May and having a - shock! horror! - second glass of wine.

The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.
I've analysed it and listened to the songs I don't know. I'd skip 3, 4, 9 (which is particularly heinous), 11, 16, 24, 27. A lot of it is just anonymous noise which is fine, but at least two of the pop songs there are on my Spotify most listened to 2020 list.
The Fray sound like what happens if you listen to Coldplay during your formative years. Really bad.
Who CHOOSES to listen to Coco Jamboo in their headphones???? If it's just there when you're by the pool, fair enough.
And if 27 were on my list, I would burn my phone and then myself.
Surely it's a list picked to do a job. Up tempo, upbeat, happy songs for the training. If this was his Desert Island Discs (and it maybe) then that's different.

I just listened to the Fray song and had to listen to Katy Perry to cleanse my upbeat soul.

Who listens to jack johnson on their turbo.
Seriously.
I just checked to make sure it wasn't in my workout playlist. Phew. 🤣 I can see Better Together being a nice tempo for some out of the saddle climbing though.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
I am not sure. You have no chance.

I've never heard of him. I thought he was a boxer from the 1910s

Hawaiian surfer from the 90s, now a musician. As I said, the song has a nice out of the saddle tempo but not one I've picked for my workout playlist. Tempo was the key word.

It really doesn't. Where's FrenchFighter when you need him?

Nice.

But if you don't like Call Me Maybe, you're lying to yourself.
