Last updated : 20 June 2013 By Covsupport News Service

Chris Froome has said that he is looking to extend his contract with Team Sky.

Froome, one of the favourites for this year's Tour De France, said to the Press Association: "I do feel at home at Team Sky.

"I feel I've worked really well with them for the past three years and I feel really fortunate to be in the position that I'm in now.

 "I've still got another year on contract with Team Sky, but I'm busy talking with management now to look at lengthening that."

Froome has admitted that he has learned a lot from Sir Bradley Wiggins who won last year's Tour De France and said: "Last year I was fortunate enough to be right at the sharp end of the race, but not necessarily deal with all the pressure that Brad had to deal with.

 "All the press, the conferences after every stage. I'd see Brad always getting to the hotel a good hour after the rest of us.

 "I think I've got to expect that's how it's going to be for me this year at the Tour."
