Chris Froome and Team Ineos remained tight-lipped on Thursday over speculation the four-times Tour de France winner may move to a rival team before this year’s race in order to ensure leadership status.
With his Team Ineos contract expiring at the end of the year, Froome was reported by cyclingnews.com to be “in discussions” over a mid-season transfer, possibly by early August. The Tour de France is scheduled to start in Nice on 29 August.
