Froome leaves Ineos for Israel Start-up Nation
Great motivation for him to win again now – don’t write off the old dog and put a pup in his place. He has the experience and the ability. Bring on the Tour – can see it being a great race.
Mark Hancock
He will still be one of the worst to face in a Grand Tour, even if he is old. Joe Man
Will he still ride for Ineos in this year’s TDF? He is still capable of winning, but only with the depth and strength of a good team behind him. Hope he rides for ISUN this year as it will make the racing more exciting. He will want to prove he’s not over the hill. Ian Lawrence
End of an era. Omer Valjevac
That’s career over, in my book. Ineos would not let him go if they thought he was still capable of winning a Tour. Red Lantern
He’ll only be a threat to Ineos if he takes Tim Kerrison with him. Kate Courtney
Getting on a bit... welcome to the MAMIL club, Froomedog! Robert Massimo Baldi
Will be interesting to see what races Ineos select him for. They could really screw him over if they wanted. Jon Wilson
Interesting – I’d say it’s quite a gamble for him. Simon Wood
Are they promising everyone this will be one last time? Or, politely letting go of Chris beforehand? Jon Pyke
