Three-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome says he was unhurt after claiming to be “rammed” by a car driver while out training in southern France.<\/p>\n

The Briton, who rides for Team Sky, posted a picture on Twitter<\/i> of his damaged bike and will report the incident to local police.<\/p>\n

“Just got rammed on purpose by an impatient driver who followed me onto the pavement!” the 31-year-old wrote.<\/p>\n

“Thankfully I’m okay. Bike totalled. Driver kept going!”<\/p>\n

The picture Froome posted was geotagged from Beausoleil in France, which is near his Monaco home.<\/p>\n

Froome is not taking part in the current Giro d’Italia but is likely to race in June’s traditional week-long Tour de France warm-up event, the Criterium du Dauphine, which he has won three times.<\/p>\n

This year’s Tour de France takes place from 1-23 July and Froome will be aiming to win the event for a fourth time and third in a row.<\/p>\n

The incident follows the death of Italian cyclist Michele Scarponi after he was involved in a collision with a van during a training ride in April.<\/p>\n
