8ish years ago Froome was 75.6kg: more than 8kg heavier than his current race weight. His body fat was 16.9 per cent.
A bit chubby perhaps?
Even I weigh less than that but then again I haven’t got a peak power of 540 [15 watts higher than TdF 2015] and a threshold of 420 nor a V02max of 80.2 – all of which he had in 2007.

If true. He’s not a cheat.
