VN pod, ep. 101: Why Le Tour banned Froome... then didn't

As far as lead-ups to the Tour de France are concerned, 2018 has been one of the craziest. First, Tour organizer ASO bans Chris Froome from racing. Then, the UCI clears him of any wrongdoing in the Salbutamol case. So now he's back in! How did this all take place? What do anti-doping experts say? What do other pro teams think? And will Froome even win this race? We answer all those questions and more. This episode of the VeloNews podcast is sponsored by CycleOps, makers of the Hammer indoor smart trainer. The VeloNews editorial staff may be hunched over computers all day during the Tour de France, but we can stay fit all July, day or night, by hopping on the Hammer and riding in our favorite virtual training app, like Zwift, Rouvy, TrainerRoad, or The SufferFest.
