Chris Froome doored on way home from training ride, sustains minor injuries Four-time Tour de France winner urges drivers to use the Dutch Reach technique to ensure safety of cyclists cycling
“Yesterday I went out for a lovely Sunday ride,” he said. “It was stunning, lovely weather, stunning views but just before I got home, 50 metres before my front door, I got doored.
The four-time Tour de France champion then spoke about the Dutch Reach technique, which from January this year forms part of the advice to road users in Great Britain under the Highway Code. “You get to see if there’s any traffic coming or most importantly, any bikes coming. So, use the Dutch Reach. It’s extremely helpful and causes a lot less pain to our cyclists and it’s a very simple thing for you guys to do.”
In May 2017, a couple of months before he took his fourth overall victory at the Tour de France, he tweeted that he had been “rammed on purpose by an impatient driver who followed me onto the pavement,” with the then Team Sky rider adding that while he was uninjured, his Pinarello bike was written off.
