Read his book.
A remarkable man who doesn't shout the odds but is clearly a cold killer on a bike.
It's enough he s pissing the French off big time ,for me,anyway .
For someone to wish he breaks a leg is sickening
Btw, G is Welsh ,so he s doing too? | | | |

Or well my friend, did you feel the same , when an Englishman captained Wales to the Euro semi-finals last year ?. |
Apologies it was a tongue in cheek comment, it was not meant to offend!  | | | |

In terms of sporting achievement, my friend, Joshua, isn't fit to lace Froome's boots. (If froome had laces that is ) |
That's your opinion and you're perfectly entitled to it, old son.
Others will regard The Heavyweight Champion of the World as the sporting pinnacle regardless of how far or fast some bloke on a pushbike pedals.  |  |

That's fair enough my friend.
When Joshua, is undisputed world heavyweight champion and has retained that title for a number of years, then we maybe able to talk about him as being in Frooms league. |  | | |

i will definitely vote for Chris Froome for SPOTY. He deserves it. Amazing talent.
i cannot even vaguely think of another UK sporting individual that has come even remotely close to what he has achieved this year.
Well done Chris on TdF no 4!! |  |

As I said to my wife the TDF is like cycling from Swansea to Oswestry (including the hills) daily for three weeks. He gets my vote | | | |

And watching two moronic thugs thumping seven kinds of sh1t out of one another for half an hour should not be dignified with the description 'sport'. [Post edited 23 Jul 2017 22:07]

Calling Wladimir Klitschko, a man who holds a PhD and speaks four languages a "moronic thug" doesn't do much for your argument I'm afraid. | |

Because someone maybe intelligent, doesn't mean they can't be a thug.
By the way that's not my opinion on boxers. [Post edited 23 Jul 2017 22:03]

I thought Domoulins victory in the Giro d Italia was just as impressive.
Froomes "year" hasn't included alot of racing really, be interesting to see the line up for the Vuelta | | | |

Anthony Joshua. Nalied on. |
well said
froome has zero personality and was riding for Kenya up until 2008
no thanks | | | |

One thing that may stop him winning is it's Personality and clearly a great Sportsmen but lacking personality wise
Nicola Adams there's a great personality
Or change the award to Sports person of the year |  | | |

Or learn the definition of the word "personality" so you'll realise that to win it the person doesn't necessarily have to be ultra charismatic or cracking jokes constantly for the benefit of the masses to excel in their chosen sporting field. |  |

With all due respect to CountyJim, I admire Froome's personality tremendously.
He's always polite in interviews, speaks intelligently, obviously is a big family man, always praises his teammates and is always modest. His performances on the road speak for themselves, he's supremely fit and a master tactician. What's not to like?
Maybe he should get some tatts, start dating some slags on the side and end every sentence with 'yaknowwhatImean'?. |  | | |
| Chris Froome for SPOTY! on 09:21 - Jul 25 with 1466 views | Batterseajack |
If and when he wins his 5th tour, there should be no excuse for him not winning SPOTY. That would put him level with cycling's all time bests Anquetil, Merckx, Hinault and Indurain.
I've probably missed a glaringly obvious athlete here, but i can't see much competition other than Anthony Joshua so far this year. | | | |

Nailed on for me,
1 Chris Froome,
2 Geraint Thomas,
3 Mark Beaumont.....on track to break the world record (around the world in 80 days,
you could say I quite like cycling lol | | | |

Nope but having a personality usually means your likeable fun , interesting and engaging
not some robotic monotone bore like froome or some boring spoilt brat like hamilton
I'd say people like Botham sheene Hunt and Eubank had personality you may not like that personality at least they had something about them and they are the type of folk you'd like to go for a pint with .
SPOTY is not just about achievements it's about personality if not take the personality out of the award
oh and btw the fact he's not even british will go against him I suppose ;) | | | |

I know you're just fishing, but Froomey's parents were both British, which makes him British. More so than Ashley Williams for Wales or Kevin Pietersen for England. [Post edited 25 Jul 2017 10:47]

His parents being British doesn't make him British imo
Even more so as he rode for another nation until what 2008? he only decided to represent the uk when he was 22
As for his achievements yes superb stuff, he is a brilliant cyclist and clearly a dedicated athlete who is the best at what he does
But that doesn't mean he has a brilliant personality | | | |
