Froomelander.jpgFroomelander: TdF champ does blue steel for magazine cover
Chris Froome, perhaps better known for his steely determination on the bike, has been snapped doing his own version of 'blue steel' for a magazine shoot.
As if on a trampoline, Froome appears on the cover of French football magazine Surface’s new title, UNLTD, suspended in mid-air gripping a Pinarello Dogma and wearing some sort of fashion blanket-cape-hoodie. We think it rather suits him.

Chris Froome reveals Rapha's 2016 Team Sky kit
The Froome cover is one of three images for UNLTD’s first edition featuring pro athletes - all of them seemingly on the UNLTD trampoline - the other two being basketballer Kevin Durant, and French Pole Vaulter, Renaud Lavillenie.

Announcing a change of discipline perhaps?

It doesn't look very aero.
Not enough pout for Blue Steel, perhaps it is Tigra.
Considering the ease with which I manage to whack a pedal against my shins just getting a bike out of my front door, there's no way I'd ever take one on a trampoline.
High fashion.
