Chris Froome has announced that he will have three big goals in 2016. The Team Sky rider wants to win the Tour de France and the two Olympic events. His manager Dave Brailsford has described these ambitions as a big challenge but doable.

"It's a challenge. It's certainly possible. We saw that Bradley did that in 2012 by winning the individual time trial", Brailsford told Sky Sports News. "It's a different continent and a different time zone, and it's a different course, as well. Is it doable? Yes, but it's a big challenge."

The Tour de France and the Olympics are totally different. The preparation is not the same. "It all fits. It's not as if you need one type of fitness or skill to win the Tour and then something totally different for the Olympics", he added. "The trick would be to focus on the Tour first, and not think about the Olympics. Do the Tour, and then come up and do the Olympics. If you start having one eye on the Olympics while you're still in the Tour, I don't think that will work."
