Apparently ASO has banned Froome to take part of the TDF... If you don't care about soccer, this will become your favorite TV show for the days to come.

 

Sky has allready appealed it, and the case will be reviewed by french NOC tuesday (the decision should be announced the day after). There shouldn't be enough time for the CAS to review it by the start of the Tour.

 

Sky : " We are confident that Chris will take part as we know he has done nothing wrong" . Yeah, right.

There should have been a decision long ago on the Froome case. ASO are in their right and i'm also welcoming the decision (if it stands). With or without him, this looks on paper to be one of the most exciting Tours in many years.

If Froome is out, this could indeed turn to be an epic Tour. Leaders of relative equal strenght and no team do demolish the field 

 

In the meantime...

There's nothing equal when Bernal takes to the start

If Froome doesn't take part,  Sky will GTFO too IMO. If anything, by pure hubris.

That would be absolutely awesome because cycling can not get rid of that Sky/Brailsford cult fast enough, but I highly doubt it.
