After winning the Tour de France, Chris Froome is trying to maintiain his physical condition in order to win the gold at next month’s Olympic Games in Rio.

"It's a tough time trial," the Sky rider told Sky Sports. "It suits me well. I hope that I can keep my form from the Tour, and if that's the case, then I really hope to medal. (...) I didn't have much energy left over coming to the finish [of the Tour in Paris] yesterday, but I'm definitely feeling as if I'm in a better place than I have been previously."

Froome will lead Great Britain's five-man squad in the Olympic road race. Geraint Thomas, Adam Yates, Stephen Cummings and Ian Stannard complete the roster.

"For me, personally, it [Dumoulin's injury] doesn't really change anything. I'm still looking to go there with my A game and looking to give it absolutely everything I have got. The road race, being a one-day event like that, is such a gamble, especially with only teams of five riders each. It's going to be very hard to control the race. It's going to be a lot about feeling the race and trying to judge the right times to make a move. I don't have much one-day racing experience. I'm obviously relying on my good form from the Tour and hoping that I have got the legs on the day, but for sure, I'm going to be watching [Vincenzo] Nibali, watching [Alejandro] Valverde closely and, hopefully, if I stick around where they are, I will be in the right place."
