'It adds a huge risk to the riders' - Chris Froome questions cobbled stages at the Tour de France
Chris Froome (Israel–Premier Tech) has questioned whether the Tour de France should include cobbled stages, stating they add a “huge risk” to the riders. For the first time since 2018, the riders will face a significant section of cobbles on Stage 5 of the Tour de France, which includes 11 distinct pave sections. Ad/> The inclusion of cobbles has split the peloton as the General Classification riders can lose a lot of time through crashes or punctures.
