froggg Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Looking forward to Paris? We went down to Lyon on Saturday and then to Mont Ventoux, it was incredible....Froome is a machine. The crowds were out of this world, I can't wait to see the Alpe D'Huez double assent, I spoke to friends we have down there last week and they said that the whole road has been full of campers for almost two weeks already...gutted I can't get down there. Had to bin it, been offered a lot of overtime at the weekend and I could do with the dosh Froome's good for next year as well I hope B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Born in Kenya and brought up in South Africa. He's African then like Kevin Pietersen. If it wasn't bad enough people accepting Andy Murray as British, this takes the piss. Are we that desperate for glory we take on anyone that's been in England over a week?

ladyram Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I must admit, I heard Chris Froome speak for the first time and couldn't figure out why I felt disappointed? Why is that? I dunno, my youngest was born in Scotland but he's not a Scot. Wierd. His dads as English as it's possible to be though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salford ram Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Remember reading about the Duke of Wellington, he was born in Ireland and did not like to be reminded of it. His answer was ' if I was born in a stable, it does not make me a horse '. So being born overseas is o.k. With me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say the same thing to Dav, he was born at an RAF base in Germany. He says he's absolutely not German. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
