Team Sky general manager Sir Dave Brailsford has insisted that there are no concerns over Chris Froome's fitness following his crash on Tuesday in the Tour de France.
Despite falling early on in the 163.5km challenge, Froome managed to complete stage four, and his team's boss claims that the accident is not enough to derail the 29-year-old's defence of his title.
"Chris is a fighter, he's not someone who gives up just like that," Brailsford told reporters. "We've done the tests and we're relieved. He will start tomorrow and I hope it will be a great day.
"We took precautions, you're always concerned when you see your leader on the ground but that's part of sport.
"I think we've had quite a few crashes, so it's normal to be worried but we're going on."
Froome is currently sitting in seventh place ahead of Wednesday's stage five from Ypres to Arenberg Porte du Hinaut.
