Chris Froome has said that he will ride in the 2015 Tour De France.
There has been suggestions that Froome might not ride the biggest grand tour race of the season but speaking to his Team Sky's website, the 2013 Tour De France winner said: "Of course, together with the team, we’ve had to prioritise some events over others, but the Tour will remain my main focus for 2015.
“The concept of doing all three Grand Tours in a season has got appeal but having said that, I know how hard it is to do two Grand Tours while targeting the overall win. At this point in my career I feel that the Tour takes priority. There may come a time at some point down the line where other races may take preference, but for 2015, it’s the Tour.
“There is no doubt that this Tour de France is going to be a tough test, but I enjoy the challenge and there’s no reason why I would be any worse off than any of the other contenders. It is our responsibility as a team to adapt accordingly so that we can be as competitive as possible there.
“It’s a climbers' Tour next year so I’m going to have to work extra hard in the mountains and spend less time on practicing time trialling. It’s also going to be important to be as light as possible, so our nutrition will play a key role.
“There will be new tests for me as an individual, that’s what I’m looking forward to.”
