The Spin- The Right Kind Of Needle

Where would Chris Froome be without his team behind him? Several Tours de France down, according to Vincenzo Nibali

So, Vincenzo Nibali reckons Chris Froome is nothing without his teammates. Guess he must have seen his arm wrestling bout with Marcel Kittel before the Shanghai Criterium. Google it...

In an interview with Cyclingnews.com, Nibali held forth on his belief that Froome wouldn’t have so much yellow in his wardrobe without the stoic support of his cadre of domestiques. “If he hadn’t found a team as strong as Team Sky during his career, he wouldn’t have won his four Tours,” claimed Nibali. “Everybody has weaknesses. Froome’s is perhaps when he’s isolated... He’s like a sprinter that needs to be led out until 250m to go.”
