Chris Froome and his team-mates are “fully focussed on the training” during their intensive altitude camp on Tenerife, according to their coach.
Froome, four-time winner of the Tour de France, is training with three of his Israel Start-Up Nation companions on the slopes of Teide, a famous volcano in the Canary Islands, as he prepares for his goals later in the season.
The riders are undergoing a tough regime of strength sessions off the bike combined with long rides up to six hours, at 2,000 metres above sea level, in the hopes of improving on the roads when they return to racing in the coming weeks.
