Unhappy with his non-selection in the Tour de France with his Israel Premier Tech team, Christopher Froome spoke on his Youtube channel: “I worked very hard to get here. It was a very big disappointment not to be retained in the team. I really felt like I was back on the road. I felt that physically I was ready.
The four-time Tour de France winner, who has struggled to regain his level since his injury in 2019, has been under contract with the team since that same year. For cyclingweekly.com, Sylvan Adams, boss of IPT, replied to his runner: “How could we say that we got what we paid for? We signed Chris to be our team leader in the Tour de France and he’s not even there, so that can’t be considered good value for money.
