Chris Froome has resumed training on Wednesday, just one day after a frightening incident in which he reported being 'rammed on purpose' by an 'impatient' driver while on a ride in the south of France.

The triple Tour de France champion's Team Sky Pinarello was severely damaged in the incident. A photo posted online by Froome showed both of the wheels were bent, the frame snapped and bars twisted.

Nigel Wynn
Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
