It struck me when reading a fairly profound parting statement from an otherwise unremarkable retiring rider on the transfers thread, that those who have followed the forum advice to swallow their pride and retire probably deserve a thread of their own.....and here it is.

Amazingly, the 40 yr old Chris Froome - one of the earliest recipients of a swallow his pride thread (after Cav, the original) - who seems to be out of contract at the end of the year and who absolutely smashed himself to pieces in a training crash in August (had to be airlifted out), is still not officially on the list. He hasn't scored a UCI point since 2023 and hasn't scored treble figures since 2018, when he grabbed over 2000.

Think he lives his life by the one greater fool creed.
If one exists, he'll maybe not be retire.
