Froome to lead Team Sky's Tour de France charge
Chris Froome will lead Team Sky's charge at this year's Tour de France, team principal Sir Dave Brailsford said.
Froome played a vital role in helping Sir Bradley Wiggins claim victory in the 2012 Tour, finishing second overall himself but Team Sky stated back in January that the 2013 campaign would be built around Froome, with Wiggins in support.
Brailsford told www.teamsky.com : "As always the team selection is a management decision and it will be evidence-based.
"However it is crucial there is clarity of purpose and for that reason we will go to the Tour with one leader.
"Taking that into consideration and given Chris' step up in performances this year, our plan, as it has been since January is to have him lead the Tour de France team."
