Israel Start-Up Nation director sportif Rik Verbrugghe has shed further light on Chris Froome's rehabilitation and training processes after it was announced that the Briton would miss his new team's training camp in Girona to stay in California.

The four-time Tour de France winner is continuing to work on his recovery from a career-threatening crash he suffered at the 2019 Critérium du Dauphiné at the Red Bull Centre in Santa Monica.
