Team Sky to release Froome data (Reuters)

By Julien Pretot BOURG DE PEAGE, France (Reuters) – Team Sky are planning to release part of yellow jersey wearer Chris Froome’s data as they seek to end doping suspicions surrounding the Tour de France leader. Froome attracted some negative headlines when he destroyed his rivals in the first mountain stage of the Tour last Tuesday and Briton had urine thrown at him by an abusive spectator on Saturday as the atmosphere on the roadside turned sour. Seeking to protect Froome from the prospect of a similar incident, two police officers were guarding the Team Sky bus ahead of Monday’s 16th stage.
