Teams are beginning to formalize their roster to the next Big Loop. The Swiss roller Stefan Kung and former British winner Chris Froome will be part of it.
The selection of Stefan Küng for the high mass of July, which will start next week from Copenhagen, is anything but a surprise. The St-Gallois comes out of an impressive Tour de Suisse, almost turning into a climber! Disappointment on the other hand for the Valaisan Sébastien Reichenbach, who will not accompany the French leaders Thibaut Pinot and David Gaudu in the mountains.
The Israel-Premier Tech team has decided to send Chris Froome back to the Tour de France, he is the four-time winner of the event. But that was before he was seriously injured in the spring of 2019 on the reconnaissance of the Dauphiné time trial. The “white Kenyan” has shown real progress in recent weeks, but, at 37, he should above all serve as a luxury teammate.
