Froome’s Recovery in Jeopardy and Other Important News from the World of Cycling

By Monica Buck

Another Monday is here and our news from the world of cycling with it! So, what did you miss?

The champion’s setback

The Italian magazine Bicisport says Chris Froome left Ineos’ training camp after just two days. His recovery is being described as “slow”.

Dario David Cioni, a sports director for Ineos, said: “After two days of training in Spain, Froome, who aspires to the fifth yellow jersey, returns home. He is not well and who knows if he will recover.”

Froome’s recovery after the horror crash at last year’s Critérium du Dauphiné was thought to be going well. He took part in the Saitama Criterium in Japan and seemed fine. However, lately theres been talk of Egan Bernal skipping the Giro to focus solely on the Tour. Will the young Colombian defend his title? Or will the four-time champ make his return? What do you think?

UPDATE: Chris Froome suggests the camp he left early took place in early December.
