Chris Froome has confirmed via Twitter that the data taken from his physiological tests done between the Tour and Vuelta will be published on December 3 by UK magazine Esquire.

 Froome revealed that sports scientists have completed analysis of tests done when he was a member of the UCI-funded World Cycling Centre in 2007 and those done at the GSK Human Performance Lab in August.

"It's certainly not about necessarily proving anything, it's more about understanding, but again you'll have to wait for that and draw from it what you want," Froome told media, including Cyclingnews, at the recent Saitama criterium in Japan.

Froome suffered when data from his win on Mont Ventoux in 2013 was leaked during this year’s Tour, appearing to show fluctuations with real time on a video, which led people to questioning his performance. Froome then surged clear to win on La Pierre-Saint-Martin in the 2015 edition. Sky released his numbers for that climb later in the race. But many, like ex-pro Laurent Jalabert, openly debated the accuracy of those numbers.

Froome has always said he has never taken performance enhancing drugs and understands why he is being scrutinised, but thinks all Grand Tour winners should face what he faces.

"I do understand where the questions are coming from, the history of the sport and the people before me who have won the Tour. I am sympathetic, but at the same time there needs to be a certain level of respect also. I've worked extremely hard to get here. I'm not going to let anyone take that away from me."
