CyclingFriday, 03 June 2022 at 17:30
Israel - Premier Tech will focus more on the Tour de Suisse in the coming weeks as they seek to get UCI points, however at the Critérium du Dauphiné Chris Froome has been pointed out, as is Simon Clarke, as team leaders in the pursuit of form towards the Tour de France.
“It’s great to be back at the Critérium du Dauphiné. I have some great memories from this race – with six stage wins and overall victories in ‘13, ‘15 & ‘16," he said in a press release. The Briton has finished 11th at the recent Mercan'Tour Classic Alpes-Maritimes in a showing of form that hasn't been seen for quite a while, and is giving positive signs to be ready for the Tour de France. With Michael Woods and Jakob Fuglsang heading to the Tour de Suisse, Froome will follow the traditional approach and be the head of Israel - Premier Tech in France.

This was the race where three years ago he suffered a career-changing accident, having crashed in the recon of a time-trial, breaking his femur, right elbow and ribs. He has since never returned to the level that he had before the crash. He has ever since raced the Dauphiné every year, however this with with ambitions - but more than results, the ambition to prove to himself that he can still race at a high level.
"Unfortunately, I’ve also had my fair share of bad ones with my big crash in 2019 and I’m hoping to finally put that behind me this year. I’ve seen some big progressions in my form over the last two months, and I hope to continue to build on it to put myself in the best possible position for July. I had a good ride earlier this week at the Mercan’Tour Classic, and I look forward to carrying that momentum forward into the Dauphiné," he concluded.
Israel - Premier Tech for Critérium du Dauphiné: Chris Froome, Simon Clarke, Omer Goldstein, Taj Jones, Guy Niv, James Piccoli and Guy Sagiv.

- Why is Greg always mentioning Armstrong negatively, while knowing but never mentioning that all of Armstrong's competitors were doping also? It couldn't be that Greg wants to be sure he's always known as the only USA winner of TDF could it? Give it a rest Greg. Armstrong's 7 (!) TDF wins should still be acknowledged as wins & only struck if all known dopers' wins are struck eg Bjarne Riis' 2005 win (Riis has since publicly admitted he was on EPO), Marco Pantani's win 1998 (obviously was on EPO), Jan Ullrich's win 1997 (publicly admitted took EPO, steroids thru his career), etc. The cyclingnews.com site has the same problem whenever Armstrong comes up. Greg ought to go ride with Armstrong -- except Greg looks so out of shape, I doubt he could.Xrider5103-12-2024
- Yeah, that will be good for Cyclocross also.
DareDevil03-12-2024 - Not good. Will he be ready for the classics still?DareDevil03-12-2024
- Bernal, Remco - how do these teams not have support to keep their multi million dollar investments safe in training rides? Be it scooters ahead of them or finding safer routes, this is insane.mij03-12-2024
- ahahahahahha
maria2024202403-12-2024 - what??? Jonas has a climber perfect physique. He is very light, enormous quadriceps and if you see him from the side, you'll see a huge thorax (big lugs). Better than that impossibile, he was born to climb, a specialist. Tadej is versatile as his physique shows. He's not a specialist.maria2024202403-12-2024
- Heal up Remco!awp03-12-2024
- I never considered him arrogant. He was outspoken at times and angry at other times. He's a professional athlete, sometimes they are emotional.awp03-12-2024
