Four-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome (Team Ineos) has taken to social media in response to reports saying that he had returned early from a training camp in Spain, posting that the last camp that he'd attended had in fact taken place in early December, and not more recently.

Froome posted on Twitter on Sunday evening: "Hope that I can set this straight, I was last at a training camp at the beginning of December. My recovery is going well and I will be heading to my next training camp on Thursday. Onward."
