PARIS — Four-time winner Chris Froome was named on
Wednesday in Israel–PremierTech’s team for next month’s Tour de France.
Froome, 37, claimed the last of his Tour successes in 2017
but has struggled for form since suffering career-threatening injuries in June
2019.

Fuglsang’s home roads on July 1.
“It’s awesome to be starting my 10th Tour de France with
Israel–Premier Tech,” Froome said in a team statement.
“I’ve worked exceptionally hard this year and I’m looking
forward to giving it my all.
“We’ve got a great group of riders in the line-up and we
can’t wait for the battle to begin in Copenhagen.”
