Tour de France champion Chris Froome says that he is open to competing in the Vuelta a Espana, which gets underway on August 22.

Tour de France champion Chris Froome has not ruled out competing in the Vuelta a Espana, which gets underway on August 22.

The 30-year-old Team Sky rider became the first ever Englishman to win the prestigious Tour de France twice following his victory in Paris on Sunday.

Now, Froome has revealed that he may opt against taking a break and instead compete in the Vuelta a Espana, which begins in Puerto Banus.

"I would say it's a bit early to say 100% but I think that could potentially be on the cards, certainly," The Guardian quotes Froome as saying.

"I know it would be a massive challenge to back it up with another grand tour now, especially to go there with the aim of going for the general classification again, but yeah, that's at the back of the mind and maybe that could be on the cards."

Froome could become only the third rider after Jacques Anquetil and Bernard Hinault to win both the Tour and Vuelta in the same year.
