'Dale Posted September 7, 2014 Share Dario Cioni, the directeur sportif at Team Sky explained Chris Froome's state of mind and his goal for the Vuelta.“Chris found it hard to admit he had a bad time trial. But after yesterday, he’s not bad even though he hasn’t had the ideal preparation for the Vuelta, which was a plan B. He fights for a good result but this race is the starting point of the 2015 Tour de France campaign.” Edited September 7, 2014 by ' Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
