He was born in Kenya, grew up in Africa and as far as I know has had no further connection with England bar a financial one with Sky Racing.
Just strikes me as an African
Albeit a tax dodging Monaco resident one.
He is even less English than Kevin Pietersen which is saying something.
Other African born players like Andrew Strauss and Matt Prior are obviously English men born there by circumstance
I just think it's small minded to deny Africa a Tour de France winner.

Froome is 100% Kenyan, not really sure how anyone can argue otherwise.

I know there are switches of loyalties and residency by Granny involved but Chris Froome is the least English man in sport.
Bit mean to try and steal the great achievement of a KENYAN winning a cycle race innit given all these other triumphs ?
He lives in Monaco with his S African wife and I'm not sure he has ever been in England apart from for the Yorkshire stage of the Tour de France.
And it would be nice if more Englishmen appreciated the greatest ever British tennis player .... the Scotsman Andy Murray.
