Superb cyclist and gentleman. Never really given the credit he deserved as one of the greats of cycling. Nothing was handed to him on a plate, he earned every scrap of his success. Huge respect.
Chris Froome is the definition of falling forward! IMO, he is the gold standard that everyone should hope to emulate. His overall performance, sincerity, sportsmanship, and attitude is simply untouchable. Like all careers, there are peaks and valleys, but for Froomey, his valleys are still above most other people’s peaks. Wishing him the best and forever a fan.
Gave this a like and don't understand the negative comments at all - it was clearly a video celebrating Froomey's career. To me the "fall" was an obvious reference to his crash injuries that effectively ended his competitive career. I hadn't seen the Brailsford interview about the Commonwealth Games before so that was an interesting nugget. Well done.
Returning to professional racing after that horrendous crash has to be bitter-sweet for Chris Froome. To be racing again for the love of the sport, but not able to ride at the super-human level his body once was capable of.
If one nice thing has come out of it, now that he's no longer dominating I've seen a lot of his critics especially online praising him for his determination to come back. I hope him all the best in the next years whether or not he is successful. No matter what he will continue to inspire many in years to come.
An incredible person. A fantastic champion. Gave enormous enjoyment and inspiration to many many thousands/ millions of people. I think it’s wrong to talk about rise and fall. I always think of Chris as a truly exceptional human being and hold him in great respect as I’m sure millions of other people do.
Froome is incredible to have achieved riding in the peloton again after what he has been through! Looks like his whole life he has shown a rare determination and persevered. He has nothing to prove....all the best Froome!
The rise and life of Chris Froome is the title in my book. Since it is only natural for young bucks to become trained up and in there prime like CF once was and take the Ws. the man is an athletic powerhouse. Remember Froomey is and always will be 1 of the greats
I’m no fan of his style and will freely admit I supported some of his rivals in their battles with him, but damn right he has my utmost respect and sporting admiration for what he’s been through, particularly recently. Never write him off. I think this article is premature personally and wish him all the best of luck for the coming season. Here’s hoping for many more great battles to come.
Yes he is one tough guy. I also hope to see him in future battles although its hard for me to believe it will happen. No matter what though he is a massive inspiration to me and a legend
The master at work, the name people feared at the tour, at any race with a significant climb, he dominated as long as time allowed. Now he is in the hall of fame for cyclists. Ride on Chris 💪💪
@@procyclingclips i Hope i dont miss it, i have already Made 2 videos About great cav😄 one before his beutiful season 2021 and one after Tdf 2021🥰 i believed in his comeback
love his attitude. why not fight for what you love (if your ego is not standing in the way)? winning is a reward but the joy comes from doing what one loves. hope he has joy and success in his final competitive years.
4 TdF, 2 Vuelta, 1 Giro, Holding all 3 GT titles at the same time (only matched by Hinault and Merckx) add to that 3 x Dauphine.... The fact that he came back to race professionally at all is a testament to the man's will. Even Wiggins was reluctant to write him off. You never know.....
I know the guy is a true inspiration. The fact that he managed to make it to the world tour after growing up in kenya is incredible. For sure he has amazing willpower. And i would love for him to get back to the top level but i just dont see him being able to compete at the tour against the likes of roglic and pogacar.
Thank you it means a lot. I put a lot of time into this one and i appreciate the kind words. Dont worry more is coming. If you have any ideas of what cycling topics or riders i could make videos on i am open to suggestions.
Fall? What fall? The guys accomplished more in less time than most TDF champs. What an epic start-up story, being a self-supported rider in a race. He deserved his success.
How dare you calling his past 2 years a fall! It takes a tremendous amount of strength just to be able to get back to where he's at now. He's always gonna be a champion.
Of course he is always gonna be a champion and he is my favourite cyclist but he still fell out of the top pros so in that sense its a fall. But of course i appreciate his effort to get back to where he is now after such a horrific crash
Going from 4 TDF's to struggling is a fall. In this case, literally and metaphorically. If he wins again, guess what? It'll be a rise... Getting offended by someone else's opinion on this matter on UA-cam is moronic. Incredible backlash by a few loud Froome fans...
@@LupeXKnight I am not hurt. Maybe I was taking the word "fall" too negative. But I feel like very few people really have a clue how it is a total miracle that he is just at pro level again. After that accident you're supposed to be in a wheelchair or... dead. I see him getting back to pro level a rise. But to each their own...
I kept saying that the whole '12 tour. My statement throughout was, "Froome should be winning not Wiggins." In my mind, Froome won that Tour, not Wiggins.
Yeah, it was a shame, also realizing that all Wiggins wanted to do was to retire instead of defending his title. It was all weirdly manufactured as if somebody had already written the script for the following Wiggins media hype.
I was very impressed by the way Froomey was coming back in the 2022 tour de france and so sorry that covid took him out. Without covid I am certain he would have finished around about 20. At his age he will be a fabulous mentor to the younger riders i his team and perhaps winning is not as important as placing well.
Yes I would love for that to happen. I really hope he can get back to the top level and if he does then hell yeah I will make a 'The Rise and Fall and Rise again' video
The new generation have taken it up a level since his domination - He would have to be even stronger than he was before, and that is unlikely. However, I think he could still be a great domestique and contribute more to the team.
@@procyclingclips British sportspeople are only knighted for the Olympics. Wiggo, Hoy, Murray vs Froome, Cavendish, Wilkinson... even Hamilton had to be the best ever driver to get a look in. (You're not wrong though)
Sad to see him not be able to reach the level he once had but that happens to all of them and he still came back as a positive force in cycling so to me he's one of the Greats!
@@procyclingclips let’s hope so . I’ve followed him since that commonwealth games as well. Not sure why all the hate he’s endured at his peak. I hope he’s tucked himself away for the year and blows everyone out the water next tour. And if his teams not up to the task may he ride everyone else’s coattails to another yellow. He’s gotta get more than L A even though his are void.
I have always been a Huge Fan of Froomie. His tenacity 2 win has been outstanding. 4 × TdeFrance wins & plenty of other Major Palmares. Chris's come back has been incredibly outstanding & has shown what a serious competitor he is . Lessor men probably would have retired. God knows he has suffered immensely 2 come back . Only 🕞🕓 will tell if he can get back on the Podium . 4Me l sincerely hope he does . He has 2 major players infront of him & they r both sLOVEnian so its going 2 be a Huge challenge 4 Chris . Dont right off a Champion with so much drive & determination. I do hope that all the doubters climb off his back & just cheer him on & support & appreciate him 4 who he is . Respect.
Yes i have huge respect for chris froome and i hope he can comeback to his former level. If he wins another tour ill have to make another vid called ´the rise and fall and rise again of chris froome ‘.
Hi friend from afar, how are you! I'm your fan! I love to see your videos, they are really nice and ornate! You are the man! Congratulations! My name is: Rubenn Dean Paul Alws "Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro" Brazil!
@@thesoultwins72 thanks for the feedback and yes i have been told by at least 5 different people how bad the music choice was. I hope you still enjoyed tho. Also do you have any suggestions for future videos that you would enjoy watching.
This title is offensive. Chris Froome never fell. Guy is still a legend. To think he fought through such horrific crash to get back to the pro peloton is insane.
I’m currently listening to his audio book so it was cool to see his mentor in the beginning of the video. I think he’ll bounce back and place well a couple more times, maybe not a GC though
Very nice documentary about Froome (although I wasn't diggin' the background rap music too much). Chris is one of the few humble champions. A rarity with professional athletes, it seems. I'll always remember him running UPHILL ( in cycling shoes no less). Wow!
Only a matter of time before he's up there with the best of them again. Look at Cavendish. 5 Years ago we all said he was finished: accident on final sprint of first stage at TDF in UK, then viral infection, then God knows what. Now? People are shutting their mouths. I have rarely seen an athlete with the determination of Froomey......so I wouldn't write him off just yet.
I wouldnt say he has fell he had a massive crash it would be impossible to get back to the same level at his age. I think its more of a re-birth of Froome he is helping his team going in breaks riding at the front now. A lot of haters now seem to like the fella too
Yes his comeback was incredible as he came from a point where he had a life threatening crash to racing pro again. Maybe i should have stressed how inspirational his recovery journey was in the video
Lots of comments talking about how Froome's lack of shape was only due to the crash. And yet in 2020 he was often performing better than 2021. He redeveloped Bilharzia this year , the same parasitic worm disease that hampered his earlier career. If Froome manages to beat this disease again, returning to decent form and performing well seems within the realm of reason. I don't think he'll ever win another grand tour but a top 10 seems possible for the greatest grand tour racer of recent times.
You have a fair point and i was actually unaware that he developed bilharzia. But going by what happened in 2011 when he had a sudden improvement in performance when he recovered yes i dont think its unreasonable.
I'm a huge fan of Chris. But it's starting to seem very unlikely he will ever approach the level where he was. I hope I'm wrong. But it's just such a looooong way from where he is now to contending again. I'd just like to see him return to where he is competitive to win stages in the Grand Tours and maybe finish in the top ten in the one-week stage races. We'll know he's making real progress if he starts moving up the standings in the TTs. I mean can even his staunchest supporters really see him ever hanging with Roglic or Pogacar in the mountains?
Im in the exact same situation as you. A big froome fan who is unsure if he can ever get back to a high level. I would absolutly love to see him win a fifth tour de France. But no i really dont see him climbing on the level of pog and rog, especially considering that pog is probably going to get even stronger as he develops. No matter what results he gets its already extremely impressive how he has managed to recover and get back to racing so far.Thanks for watching and commenting !
' Your window is short. Dont faff around with hesitation' - Durianrider 2021 My new favourite Durianrider inspirational quote haha. But seriously yes i agree. Also thanks for watching and commenting im a fan of your vids!
Kenya 🇰🇪 really missed the gravy train here...the local cyclist federation was willing but the incompetent government couldn't see the potential.. One of the greatest sporting exports kenya ever had...and a perfect example of the overwhelming privilege of being a talented male white athlete.
@@procyclingclips the fact that he came back at pro level after that crash is just incredible. he is a real demon. a real inspiration. a real cycliste god
Where did he fall? I mean the man had a bad year after getting into a bad crash. The man is one of the best. If he doesn't come back to cycling, I call it bowing out gracefully.
I thought this was a serious piece as there are some asterisks *** in his (and his team) but this is a powder puff review written, directed, and performed by Chris Froome.
I am glad you are back racing. Getting strong as before.... I pray
Froome is a legend and someone we can take inspiration from because his mindset. What a great guy.
yes against all his challenges and growin up in Kenya he managed to win the tour. Crazy!
Doper, and worst: caught on doping.
He won the tour 4 times man. There is no fall .
Yes fair point but he is a legend no matter what! One of my favourite cyclists of all time tho
Thought the same thing..no fall. Looking for clicks. Discredits this video!! I won't sub. for that reason.
Lance won 7. No fall for him either? 😂
@@jamesgem1809 well he did fall but he remains a legend. So how do i get you to sub then mate? What videos do you want to see next.
@@bretzky9261 haha. Well lance did fall hard but seeing as you have a profile picture of lance Armstrong maybe you disagree lol
Surviving that crash that almost took his life, and coming back to pro racing is such an amazing feat.

It's called doping. Grow up already

My new favourite Durianrider inspirational quote haha. But seriously yes i agree. Also thanks for watching and commenting im a fan of your vids!
@@procyclingclips Cheers mate! :)
Kenya 🇰🇪 really missed the gravy train here...the local cyclist federation was willing but the incompetent government couldn't see the potential..
One of the greatest sporting exports kenya ever had...and a perfect example of the overwhelming privilege of being a talented male white athlete.
froome is the goat
He certainly is
@@procyclingclips the fact that he came back at pro level after that crash is just incredible. he is a real demon. a real inspiration. a real cycliste god
Nice edit man ☺️
Thanks man 🙂 i appreciate it
Lets wait for 2022
Where did he fall? I mean the man had a bad year after getting into a bad crash. The man is one of the best. If he doesn't come back to cycling, I call it bowing out gracefully.
4 TDF wins. Sad story? Get the F out of here. He’s a gentleman and a Champion.
I wasn't trying to make it a sad story but a celebration of his career. And yes I totally agree he is a gentleman and a champion
Idk if you know or gave permission. But a channel called Cycles passion. Got your exact same vid.
Thank you very much for notifying me of this I was completely unaware. i appreciate this comment very much.
1 of the Best Cyclists ever.
I fully agree with you there!!
I thought this was a serious piece as there are some asterisks *** in his (and his team) but this is a powder puff review written, directed, and performed by Chris Froome.
And people want to sit behind their keyboards and throw shit at him… This bloke is a tough as they fucking come!
Exactly!
Froome is a legend. He gave us the best Giro stage I can remember,
Yes!! I remember watching that live and when i explained what had happened to my friend who missed it he didnt believe me!
He is awesome
He is an absolute legend!
Could you please change the lyrics of your song.
This feels like a youtube video you'd get in 2008
This is insane
thanks m8
