MONACO (AP) Three-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome says his bike was wrecked by a car when the driver intentionally struck him.
The incident Tuesday morning comes less than three weeks after Michele Scarponi, the 2011 Giro d’Italia winner, died in a collision with a van during a training ride.
Froome posted a photo on Twitter of the damaged bike soon after the crash near his home in Monte Carlo.
The British rider writes: ”Just got rammed on purpose by an impatient driver who followed me onto the pavement! Thankfully I’m okay Bike totaled. Driver kept going!
