When the Tour de France begins on Aug. 29, four-time champion Chris Froome won’t be in the race for Team Ineos
By Joshua Robinson Close Joshua Robinson Aug. 19, 2020 11:01 am ET PARIS—The greatest cycling career of the 21st century took a dramatic turn last summer when Chris Froome pulled a move he had managed a million times before. He tried to blow his nose.
“Chris is a legend of our sport, a true champion who has demonstrated incredible grit and determination to come back from his crash last year,” Team Ineos general manager Dave Brailsford said. “The Vuelta gives him that little bit more time to continue his progress to the top level.” “Don’t think we didn’t want to attack them,” said French Tour hopeful Thibaut Pinot of Team Groupama-FDJ. “They’re just going too fast.”
“I’m still finding the race rhythm,” Froome said at the Dauphiné, where he struggled to keep pace with the front-runners. “But I’m feeling better and better.” The move only materialized after Israel Start-Up Nation owner, the Israeli-Canadian billionaire Sylvan Adams, read in the cycling press that Froome was less than thrilled with his situation at Ineos. So Adams did what any ambitious sports executive does in these times: he made a Zoom date.
