Cycling: ‘Untouchable’ Dave Brailsford won’t quit as Sky boss
The former performance director of British Cycling has been in the eye of a storm which centres on what that package contained. And his position wasn’t given any support this week when his star rider and three-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome refused to publicly back him.
In a leaked British Cycling report, Brailsford was described as “untouchable” but he has received close to unanimous support from the Sky board, its riders and staff. He had not spoken to the media since Team Sky’s training camp in Mallorca in early January but he did respond to questions from journalists when he surprisingly showed up at Tirreno-Adriatico yesterday, where the team are competing.
