Froome considering Vuelta a España start
Tour de France winner Chris Froome (Team Sky) said this week that he is considering competing in the 2015 Vuelta a España, which begins August 22 in Puerto Banus.
“It’s a bit early to say 100 percent, but I think potentially it could be in the cards,” Froome said on Sky Sports News. “I know it would be a massive challenge to go back to another Grand Tour and to go there with the aim of winning the general classification, but that’s in the back of my mind and maybe could be on the cards.”

Team Sky general mamanger Dave Brailsford put the brakes on Froome’s enthusiasm, however, telling Sporza that the team would not encourage their star rider to “look too far ahead.”
Froome would be only thr third rider to winthe Tour de France and Vuelta e Espana in the same year, according to Sporza. The others were Jacques Anquetil in 1963 an Bernard Hinault in 1978.
