No Champagne but beer for Froome
Print Edition
POISED to clinch his third Tour de France title, Chris Froome and his teammates at Sky were celebrating by drinking beer — not the traditional Champagne — during the final and mostly ceremonial stage which was to end on the Champs-Elysees in Paris later yesterday.
The 31-year-old Kenya-born Froome was riding a yellow bike to go with his yellow helmet, gloves and shoes. His teammates had yellow stripes on their jerseys and yellow handlebars on their bikes. The 21st stage got off to a picture-postcard start as the peloton rode by the perfectly manicured gardens of the Chateau de Chantilly. The mostly flat 113-kilometer stage should set up well for a mass sprint on the cobblestones below the Arc de Triomphe. Froome holds a lead of 4 minutes, 5 seconds over Romain Bardet of France. Nairo Quintana, Froome’s bridesmaid in his previous two Tour victories, will finish third and the Colombian’s Movistar outfit will claim the team award.
