Cycling: Softly Spoken Froome Maturing Into Team Leader (http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2013/03/23/sports/cycling/23reuters-cycling-froome.html?hp)
PORTO VECCHIO, France (Reuters) - After spending the 2012 season standing by Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome is learning to become a leader at Team Sky as the Briton gears up for the Tour de France, the ultimate goal of his season.
"I'm really enjoying the role, it's not easy with all the extra commitments and things. I'm beginning to understand what Brad had to go through last year," Froome, runner-up to Wiggins in the Tour in 2012, told Reuters at the Criterium International in Porto Vecchio, Corsica, where the Tour will start in three months.
