It’s his decision as well as the team’s, not ours.
The team already made their decision…..and I highly doubt any other team is going to hire him after years of lackluster results.
The writing is on the wall….we all know it is inevitable.
It certainly is his decision, but hat doesn’t mean he isn’t making himself look kinda silly right now.

I don’t think he’s making himself look silly. I think it’s silly that so many pretend to know what he should do.

Does anyone know that for fact? That he got back to his previously levels? Apart from Froome saying it, I mean.

Froome looked strange on the bike. His arms always are at an odd angle. The pedaling super tuck stuff was silly. Plus, the Sky mountain train was a boring era for GC in grand tours. I always preferred G for his personality and he looked better on the bike too. Sheer toughness of the man was also inspiring. Froome accomplished a lot but he never struck me as inspiring. Perhaps it’s because I’m not British.

Cause without him and the boring sky years, we would have had Nairo, Uran, and Bardet winning the tour. the fact he might have got away with cheating in that era just makes it all the worse.
Then toss in his toxic wife’s online behaviors, his IPT years taking salary for being a bad racer, etc, he just seems to have hung around too long to keep a positive image

Not really. You can assume that, but assumptions aren’t exactly facts. I’m not assuming anything about Froome, his past, what he should do, what he shouldn’t do, or whatever people’s personal biases drive them to assume.
I hate him because him and Wiggo made average Joe’s think Osymetric Chainrings were a good idea.
Your mechanic and front derailleur hate you.

I think this is atnthe core of all the reactions to him at this stage. Other former greats find ways to gracefully retire, while he is claiming that his stem length has been off this whole time.
