Cycling-Froome planning to ride Vuelta after Rio (Reuters)
Tour de France champion Chris Froome could ride Spain’s Vuelta after returning from the Rio Olympics, his Team Sky boss Dave Brailsford said on Tuesday. Froome, who was crowned champion for the third time in four years in Paris on Sunday after a dominant three weeks, will ride the time trial and road race in Brazil next month. All being well, that’s what we will be doing.” Britain’s Froome arrived in Spain last year hoping to become the first man to win the Tour de France/Vuelta double since Bernard Hinault but pulled out after an 11th stage crash.
