A good write up from the always excellent Inner Ring here:

Please let this be legit.
Like you, I want to believe in Froome/Sky, but it’s never been easy... Contract up and on the way out of Sky, Froome’s only called up for the 2011 Vuelta as a late replacement. Comes second to Tony Martin in the tt and leads the race. Loses on bonus seconds after waiting for Wiggins on the Angliru, as even his own team fail to realise he’s suddenly the strongest climber in the world, after recovering from a never previously-mentioned tropical illness. (Also no mention of asthma in his book.) Some marginal gains later, wins the Vuelta... and four Tours. Legit? I’ve no idea, but it doesn’t look great, and this is pro cycling...
(Same with Wiggins, ofc... 2008, track specialist, grupetto regular, and occasional lead-out for Cavendish. That winter, with British Cycling’s help, he loses 12kg (!) with no apparent loss of power. 2009, Brailsford, head of BC, sees how strong and light Wiggins is and announces he’s starting Sky. Wiggins climbs with Contador, Schleck, and Armstrong at the Tour. Some marginal gains later, he wins the Tour with Sky. Legit? I’ve no idea, but it doesn’t look great, and this is pro cycling... )
Back to today, I get the impression that Froome/Sky thought this wouldn’t come out, especially as he’s since signed up for the Giro. He even seemed pretty calm about it yesterday, confident that once he’s undertaken the required tests, he’ll be cleared...
Be good to hear from Froome and Sky. Waiting.......
