Brailsford backs Chris Froome’s Tour de France return
‘N𓄧o one shouldꦏ underestimate Froome’ says Team Ineos principal

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Team Ineos principle Dave Brailsford has come out in support of four-time Tour de France winner 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Chris Froome’s return to the French Grand Tour after 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:recent reports claimed the 34ཧ-year-old’s comeba🌟ck from injury had gone off track.
Brailsford warned people not to disregard Froome’s ability to return from the devastating injuries suffered in a harrowing crash while he was warming 🍒up for the time trial stage at the Criterium du Dauphine in June.
"After the accident, Chris worked incredibly hard,” Brailsford told Gazzetta della Sport. “He is putting all the courage and determination into training that led him to win seven Grand Tours to be ready in time for the start of ꦍthe 2020 Tour.”
Froome fractured his hip, elbow, femur, ster꧒num and vertebrae in the crash and had extensive surgery to repair his injuries. He then underwent a second surgery in November to remove a metal plate in his hip and screws in his elbow.
His recovery was initially described as going well, as he returned to training earlier this summer, but the recent reports in Bicisport and SpazioCiclismo.com painted a much 🃏different picture, with Team Ineos sports director Dario David Cioni reportedly questioning if Froome would ♏ever return to his Grand Tour-winning form.

Froome had hoped to add a record-tying fifth yellow jersey to his collection in 2019, but the Dauphine crash knocked him out for the season and opened the door for young Colombian and Ineos teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Egan Bernal 🦩to seize the race ahead of defending champion Gerraint Thom💦as, also of Team Ineos.
In a t🍸weet posted Sunday, Froome hit back against sugge🧜stions his recovery was not going well.
“Hope that I can set this straight, I was last at a training ca꧃mp at the be๊ginning of December,” he wrote. “ My recovery is going well and I will be heading to my next training camp on Thursday. Onward.”
