After yesterday's Tour de France victory, Chris Froome (Sky) has confirmed that he is considering the Tour-Vuelta double.
Froome, speaking exclusively on Sky Sports News HQ, said: "I would say it’s a bit early to say 100 per cent but I think that could potentially be on the cards, certainly.
"I know it would be a massive challenge to back it up with another grand tour now, especially to go there with the aim of going for the general classification again.
"But yeah, that’s at the back of the mind and maybe that could be on the cards."
If he decides to do the Spanish grand tour, Froome is likely to face another battle against Nairo Quintana, Vincenzo Nibali, Joaquim Rodriguez and Alejandro Valverde who are all expected to do the race. Furthermore, Giro d'Italia stars Fabio Aru and Mikel Landa plan to be at the start of the Spanish event
