Four-time winner’s contract expires this yearFroome has been linked with move to Start-Up NationChris Froome intends to ride the Tour de
France with Team Ineos despite failing to agree a contract extension for next season, according to a teammate, Dylan van Baarle.
Froome’s deal with Ineos expires at the end of the year and the four-time Tour winner has been linked with a move to the
Israeli team Start-Up Nation, with some reports suggesting that he could make the move before the start of the race on 29 August to avoid a leadership battle with the reigning champion, Egan Bernal, and 2018’s winner, Geraint Thomas.
