Chris Froome has called for patience and understanding as he continues to fight his way back from his career-threatening crash three years ago. 

The four-time Tour de France champion has shown encouraging signs of form recently and is currently racing at the Critérium du Dauphiné, where he suffered the horrific 2019 crash that left him with a broken femur among other injuries.
