DUESSELDORF, Germany (Reuters) - It is fair to say that Team Sky boss Dave Brailsford will be happy to talk strategy, gear ratios and Chris Froome's form for as long as anyone is listening over the next few weeks.

It would be a 'comfort zone' for the 53-year-old who has found himself, and the team he has built into the most formidable racing outfit in the peloton, mired in controversy over jiffy bags, therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) and even a supposed 'culture of fear' in British Cycling.
