Cycling: All Still To Play For, Insist Froome's Rivals

Cycling: All still to play for, insist Froome's rivals

LE PUY-EN-VELAY, France, , (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 17th Jul, 2017 ) - Chris Froome's main Tour de France rivals insisted they still had everything to ride for despite missing an opportunity to gain time on the champion in the Massif Central.

Froome had a mechanical problem on a rapid run-in to the foot of a first category climb that crested some 30km from the finish of Sunday's 15th stage. The Briton dropped 50 seconds behind his main rivals but helped by a concerted effort from his Sky team, and a 20km chase, he bridged the gap before the summit and saved the day.
