When I'm struggling along, dipping my head at my stem I think 'this must be what Froome feels like, only 20mph faster, maybe I should stick my elbows out...'
It's a special thing to get a sportsperson who is both at the pinnacle of what they do, but also friendly and empathic. The requirement for the first doesn't share any real need for the second in most sports. We've kind of come round to Froome, he's smiling a bit more and seems to be happier in general, probably because it's not his first tour victory. As for 'can he relate to us'? I doubt any of the top flight lot from any sport can. Like any other celebrity they are cocooned in to a life that is nothing like the one the majority of us live. Regional accent or no.
