Today, by winning atop the mighty Mont Ventoux, Chris Froome of Team Sky probably claimed his first Tour de France victory, despite still six stages to go, including the Alpe d’Huez stage. Lots of people, including me, surely wondering what Paul Kimmage says about this performance.

Kimmage has doubts about Wiggins and Team Sky

Paul Kimmage, journalist and former pro cyclist, has doubts about Bradley Wiggins and Team Sky, suggests that their dominance at Tour de France 2012 is suspicious.

Previously, during the Tour de France in July, Kimmage has said that he believes Team Sky was not as transparent as they promised when the team was founded. He had added that: “People ask me how I feel about Wiggins leading the Tour de France – I don’t know, I can’t answer the question. When asked about doping, the answers from Wiggins now sound the same as with Armstrong and Floyd.”
