The British Chris Froome (Ineos) has suffered a cut with a kitchen knife on the thumb of one hand, which has forced him to go through the operating room, according to the runner himself in his twitter account.

"Stupidly I cut my thumb with a kitchen knife and had to undergo surgery last night to reassemble the tendon," explains the four-time winner of the Tour de France and double the Tour .

It is not the year of the British cyclist of Kenyan origin, because he is convalescent of the injuries that caused him a fall on June 12 while recognizing the Dauphiné Libéré time trial route, a few hours before the competition.

In this fall he suffered a fractured right femur and elbow and several ribs .

" This is not my year, I do not see the time for 2020, " said Froome from his home.
