Chris Froome winning Tour de France 'at worst possible time'

Chris Froome, Tour de France 2013, stage 19

Chris Froome (Sky) is winning the Tour de France at the worst time possible, according to Team Principal David Brailsford. This year's edition comes on the heels of the Lance Armstrong scandal, which uncovered years of doping and saw the American stripped of seven Tour titles.

"It's probably the worst Tour to try to win, the one where all the Armstrong thing comes out, the lids taken off and everybody realised what was going on," Brailsford told press including Cycling Weekly.
