During a training camp in Majorca, Spain, Chris Froome told about his goals for the 2015 season. The leader of Team Sky will focus only on Tour de France even if the Giro di Italia route is interesting. The British rider explained it according to Cycling Weekly.

“But given where I am right now in my career, given that I am 29 and coming into my best years, and given that the Tour de France is the biggest race for us, it would be a loss to miss it,” he explained. “Having said that, the Giro this year is a great route for me. I would have liked to have been there, but if you’re realistically looking to win both, it’s a big ask.”

Alberto Contador, the Tinkoff Saxo rider, said he would be to ride both. “I’d say he’s set himself a very difficult task,” said Froome. “It’s not impossible and Alberto is the rider who knows how to do it. He’s been winning these races since 2007, so he knows how to get himself ready for a race like the Tour de France. I know how hard it is to do two Grand Tours back-to-back, and go for the win, so my priority remains the Tour.”

What is the relationship now with his compatriot Bradley Wiggins? “Bradley and I, as it stands, we are going on very different paths — Bradley has chosen to return to the track. My ambitions remain with Team Sky, focused on stage races and Grand Tours. I wish him all the best with his future on the track and the new development team.”
