No Chris Froome at Tour de France 2023 as Israel – Premier Tech leave out four-time winner from their team

Chris Froome won’t get the chance to fulfil his “ultimate goal” of appearing at the 2023 Tour de France after the four-time winner was left out of his Israel – Premier Tech team.

Froome recently said riding the Tour was his main objective of 2023, and declared his ambition to try and win a stage after going close on Alpe d’Huez last year.

Of the selection process, IPT’s general manager Kjell Carlstrom said: “It was a tough decision to select our Tour de France team this year but we feel we selected eight riders best suited to fulfilling our performance objectives.

“The fact that we had a difficult decision to make when looking at our long list shows the strength and depth of our rider group, and unfortunately we could not select everyone.”
