Congratulations Chris Froome

[flecc]

Chris has just won the Tour de France for the third time, something that only a tiny handful of riders have achieved. At 31 years old now it will be unlikely that he could match Lance Armstrong's seven wins, but for me his three honest wins easily equal Armstrong's seven drug assisted ones.

And then there's the person. Armstrong's arrogant and bullying personality made him widely disliked in the cycling world, but Chris Froome is a quiet, unassuming and impeccably polite person who is universally liked wherever he goes.

A true champion.

Yup, big respect to the guy.....
Although i expect there will be yet even more MAMIL's on the road now.

And you have Yates as best young rider too! And to the runner up, it has been a while since a young French rider has been up there on the podium.

Not heard of the French throwing abuse, accusations of cheating.... and even urine at Chris Froome this year.
Can it be that sour grapes isn't on the French menu anymore ?

I think that because he is so obviously such a nice person, even the French have been forced to realise his true worth and respect him for it.

Personal quality always wins through eventually.

Personally, I no longer acknowledge Armstrong's 'wins'
He didn't do it, he cheated.
