Froome to undergo independent tests

Chris Froome plans to undergo independent physiological testing after the Tour de France in an effort to counter allegations made by critics of his performances.

An explosive display saw Froome distance his rivals for Tour victory on Tuesday, extending his advantage over nearest rival Tejay van Garderen (BMC Racing) from 12 seconds to almost three minutes, a margin which many believe to be insurmountable by the race’s finish on July 26 in Paris.
