Nel 2015: Froome was also asked about a reported phone conversation with Belgian coach Paul van den Bosch, who works with Tim Wellens, Jurgen van den Broecke and Sven Nys. Sporza revealed that Van Den Bosch suggested that Froome used an expensive but controversial ketone supplement, which can provide an additional source of energy and preserve glycogen stores.

Team Sky team manager Dave Brailsford has already denied to Cyclingnews that Team Sky had ever used ketones, and Froome did the same, even calling Van Den Bosch this morning before the stage.

“I just touched base with him, talked about Team Sky and myself, about using ketones drink,” Froome explained. “That’s crazy. I had to Google it find out what it is. But I can say 100% that the team does not use ketones.”
