• If I were Team Sky I would be concerned, says Vaughters
Jonathan Vaughters, the manager of the Education First team of last year’s Tour de France runner-up, Rigoberto Urán, has voiced his concerns at the threats being directed towards Chris Froome.
“If I were Team Sky I would be concerned,” Vaughters said regarding the decision by the UCI to drop anti-doping proceedings against Froome. “Reading comments on social media from people saying, ‘Since justice wasn’t served, by the UCI and Wada, we’ll serve it from the side of the road’, that’s basically an outright threat. And it does feel [the Tour promoter] ASO fired things up when it’s their responsibility to protect them.”
