Froome Tour de France KO

Four-time winner Chris Froome is out of the Tour de France after fracturing his leg, hip, arm and ribs in a horrific high-speed crash on Wednesday. The 34-year-old’s dream of a fifth Tour de France title this year was over after a gust of wind hurtled him into a wall toward the end of a “recon” ahead of the Criterium du Dauphine’s fourth stage time trial. Froome suffered multiple fractures in his right femur, right elbow and ribs, and will remain in hospital for at least two days in Saint-Etienne. It appeared Froome had taken his hand off the handlebars in order to blow his nose and the wind’s taken his front wheel and he’s hit a wall.
