Is it my imagination or is Froome Coughing again in post race interviews like he did in the end of week 2 last year. I do hope he doesn't succumb to Bronchitis again :(

    It's just his asthma. I can show you a clip of him doing just the same in 2008.

    He'll be needing his prednisolone.

    He always coughs after races, like Rich said.

    He could just borrow some off the rest of the Sky riders who also have "asthma"....

    But it's not a regular treatment for asthma. Actual asthma medication anyone can take freely, it's not banned at low levels (and not allowed at high levels with a Tue)

    And it doesn't enhance performance either.

    Just as an aside, and I don't ride competitively so moot, but..... I take 2 or 3 puffs of salbutamol before I head out on a ride. Is that within wada limits or am I entering Ulissi territory?

    The guideline is 16 puffs in a 24 hour period as the limit.

    Don't worry, it's probably just an attempt to get something going to go back to the 'It's all kicking off' thread in Bottom Bracket.

    I'm taking a hydrocortisone cream for hayfever and always think I'd be done by WADA

    I have corticosteroid injections. I'd definitely be done by WADA although I think I'd probably get a TUE.

    I will be looking out for the cough at the rest day press conference as last year you could visibly tell he was ill, so fingers crossed he looks OK.
