ALCUDIA, Mallorca (Reuters) - Tour de France champion Chris Froome mapped out lofty goals for the year on Tuesday, setting his sights on a remarkable treble of double Olympic gold and another triumphant ride into Paris.

The 30-year-old Briton, who claimed his second Tour de France victory last year, having also won it in 2013, will be favourite for a third in July, before heading to Rio de Janeiro's lush coastline to contest the Olympic road race and time trial.
