Chris Froome said in a tweet that he have to skip Tirreno-Adriatico, for a second consecutive year. And for RCS Sport, this choice is showing lack of respect. According to the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, Mauro Vegni is very angry.
“I wrote to Sky’s team manager, David Brailsford,” he told. “I didn’t like that I had to find out the news about Froome’s withdrawal via various websites. At least they could’ve bothered to called me. In these years, we have certainly shown Sky more respect than what they have shown us. Unfortunately, our relationship is not as good as I thought it was.”
The British team explained that if the doctor think that the cyclist is unable to race, the race organizers is informed. But this team, the team waited until the last minute.
“This is obviously frustrating after the good start that I’ve had to the season, but it’s a minor setback,” Froome said. “I’ve been ill for a few days now and unfortunately, I couldn’t shake it off in time for the race.”
