The champion
of the Tour de France Chris Froome said Tuesday he was deliberately knocked off
his bicycle by a driver while he was training in south of France.
The British rider posted a
picture of his badly damaged bike on Twitter but said he had escaped injury.
"Just
got rammed on purpose by an impatient driver who followed me onto the
pavement!" tweeted the 31-year-old Froome, a three-time winner of the Tour, road cycling's most prestigious race.
"Thankfully I'm okay. Bike totaled. Driver
kept going!"
The picture was taked from Beausoleil, near
Froome's home in Monaco, and retweeted more than 12,000 times in just a few
hours. Froome rides for the Team Sky and will defend his title when the Tour de
France begins in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Sky said Froome returned home to get a spare
bike and continued his training after the incident. French police had no
immediate response, while Spanish star cyclist Alberto Contador tweeted the picture of Froome's mangled bike and the words: "No
comment...!!!"
