LONDON (Reuters) - Four-times Tour de France winner Chris Froome returns to the peloton this weekend saying it feels like "a second chance" after recovering from serious injuries sustained in a high-speed crash last year.

The 34-year-old Briton lines up at the start of the UAE Tour with Team Ineos in his first race since slamming into a wall during a training ride for last year's Criterium du Dauphine.
