Chris Froome has returned to compete since last Saturday and until this Tuesday on the Route d’Occitanie, where he will share the stripes of the leader of the Ineos with Egan Bernal, and who will be a companion and at the same time a rival in the next Tour de France.
In statements collected by the Cyclingnews portal, Froome is very optimistic about his great goal for 2020. “I feel like I’m on the right track towards the Tour de France. There is still work to do, but it is part of the preparation for the Tour. “
The Briton said that the postponement of the Tour at the end of August due to the coronavirus pandemic has helped him to better prepare for the French round. “The postponement of the Tour has helped me a lot. The fact that the main races have been postponed has helped me in the next step to return to being myself. I think, given what we are doing now one month from the start of the Tour, I am on the right track and I am happy about it. “
Froome already turns the page on the serious accident that took him almost eight months without competing and that prevented him from playing the Tour last year. “I was delighted to return to racing after the accident, injuries and the current situation of the COVID-19. I have been preparing for it for months and months. It is also good for mental preparation. My legs are also fine. “
Finally, the British did not want to talk about his next project at Israel Start-Up, where he will compete next season. “There will be a lot of changes, but there are still several months left for that, so I’m not thinking about that now. I’m focused on giving my best for the rest of the season.”
