After the stage on Saturday, the Briton Stephen Cummings on the airfield in Mende won, Froome was “extremely disappointed” about the urine attack. The incident good 55 kilometers to go was the low point in the Tour in 2015, at which the Sky Captain for days has to deal with doping accusations.
Froome made the negative coverage in France responsible for the incident and was aimed primarily at the former professional cyclist and today’s TV experts Laurent Jalabert and Cedric Vasseur. Both – in their active time not just unloaded – the performance of the British had placed in doubt. “I think the coverage of the race is sometimes irresponsible, and I give them the blame. I am mean, these people know themselves. It is no longer the athletes who are disrespectful to the cycling, it is these people” Froome said.
On Sunday the Tour winner from 2013 was considered when enrolling with applause. Regardless, his team received police protection. Because the urine attack was not the only incident.
