Last updated : 06 May 2013 By Covsupport News Service

Team Sky Boss Sir David Brailsford has announced that Chris Froome will lead Team Sky for the 100th Tour De France.

The 100th edition of Le Tour starts in Corsica at the end of June and Team Sky have announced that Sir Bradley Wiggins who was the first British rider to win the biggest cycling race in the world with his stunning victory last year, will work for Chris Froome who did so much work to help Wiggins win the 2012 race. 

Speaking to his team's website, Sir David Brailsford said: "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."
