Froome is currently on the comeback trail after an extended period on the sidelines following his crash last June during a recon of stage 4 TT at Critérium du Dauphiné.
He hit a wall at high speed when a gust of wind caught his front wheel as he took his hands off the handlebars.
Froome suffered a litany of injuries including a right femur fracture, broken elbow and broken ribs.
