The fiancee of Tour de France winner<\/a> Chris Froome has yet again caused controversy<\/a> by stating that Bradley Wiggins and his wife Cath have not congratulated him on his win.<\/p>\n

Michelle Cound, who got engaged to Froome in March this year, said that it was \u2018fair to say\u2019 they should \u2018have been a bit more classy and sent a message of congratulations.\u2019<\/p>\n

According to The Sun, when asked if Wiggins\u2019 team should have sent over a tribute to Froome, she said: \u2018Yes. They should have.\u2019<\/p>\n

The rivalry between Froome and Wiggins<\/a> came out in last year\u2019s Tour when the former was forced to stay with Team Sky\u2019s leader rather than attack up the mountains on his own.<\/p>\n

This animosity has been matched by the other halves, with Cound tweeting last year: \u2018Teamwork is also about giving the people around you, that support you, a chance to shine in their own right.\u2019<\/p>\n

Cath Wiggins replied, saying: \u2018See Mick Rogers and Richie Porte for examples of genuine, selfless effort and true professionalism.\u2019<\/p>\n

Sky\u2019s Wiggins was forced out of the Tour this year with a chest infection and knee injury, meaning that he was unable to defend the title he won in 2012. \u2013 Mail Online<\/a><\/p>\n
