Chris Froome misses Mont Ventoux Dénivelé Challenge due to health Issues
CyclingTuesday, 14 June 2022 at 12:16
Chris Froome will not compete in the Mont Ventoux Dénivelé Challenge today. He was supposed to compete in the climbing event, but Froome is apparently not yet fit enough to wear a jersey number again and is therefore not part of the final selection of his team Israel -
Premier Tech. The four-time Tour winner had to withdraw from the Critérium du Dauphiné on Saturday on the advice of his team's medical staff. "I was really looking forward to the last two stages, but I don't feel 100 percent," he said at the time. The illness comes in a bad time where the Tour de France is just around the corner and the Briton was showing promising signs of returning to a competitive level.
Froome is not a certainty and therefore has to get in the picture with the team management. The fact that Froome cannot participate in the today's race is a serious setback. Israel - Premier Tech hopes to have a shot at victory with Michael Woods with a lineup that can afford to be ambitious.
