Are we going to see Chris Froome one day at its former level? The question seems to be very thorny on the side of the formation of Ineos, more than six months after a fall during a reconnaissance before a stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné which had caused him fractures to a cervical vertebra, to the femur, to the elbow , hip and ribs. According to information from the specialized site Bicisport, the return to competition of Froome is much slower than expected. So much so that he would have left the training course, organized in December, after only two days, feeling "not well".

So much so that in their outline of the 2020 calendar, which they are preparing well in advance to put the runners in the best physical conditions, the sports directors of Ineos would have changed their plans and chosen to align the two last winners du Tour, Egan Bernal and Geraint Thomas, on the Grande Boucle 2020. While the Colombian was rather ready for the Giro and Froome on the Tour.
