Chris Froome may start in the Tour de France anyway. ASO has just confirmed that. The timing could be better. They made a mess of it.

He will certainly be there, that's for sure.

ASO has recently responded that Chris Froome is welcome in the Vendée. The UCI said that this morning by completely freeing him in his salbutamol case, so we'll see him next Saturday.

Are the problems completely off the ground? Officially, but we're looking forward a little bit, Froome is not really loved by French fans, and urine was thrown over him last year. Which I find disgusting of the people who do that by the way. Change the world, start with yourself.

With Romain Bardet they have one of the big Tour favorites, and it will not be the funniest three weeks of Chris Froome's life in the Tour de France, but he will certainly be there, that's for sure.

We still do not know officially why Froome has been cleared and that is a bit strange. The UCI did send a statement to the world that it was cleared, but we do not get an explanation of how and why at the moment, which is not a good thing.

If the UCI wants to show that they are a good partner in cycling, you just give a statement, you can take poison that people will talk about class justice, What about Diego Ulissi and Alessandro Petacchi a few years ago? They were not acquitted for a much lower value of Salbutamol?

It has taken a long time, which is not entirely inexplicable, it has something to do with the product, it is not about epo and growth hormone, because then you are immediately suspended. At Salbutamol you get the time to explain it yourself. Sky and Froome's lawyers have used that time completely. Sad for the people who love cycling!
