Team Sky: Froome and Rider

team sky: Only the largely ceremonial stage into Paris on the Champs-Elysees on Sunday stands between Froome and his fourth triumph in five years, according to The Japan Times. It's just an amazing feeling, Froome said. Froome, the last rider to set off from the Stade Velodrome, finished third in the 22.5-km stage won by Maciej Bodnar, and increased his overall lead. ; Colombian rider Rigoberto Uran moved to second place in the general classification, 54 seconds behind Froome, after Frenchman Romain Bardet cracked and dropped to third overall. It was so close coming into this TT. This was my closest Tour de France, the most hard-fought between the riders on GC. I didn't think it would come down to this TT in Marseille. The British rider from Team Sky also won cycling's biggest race in 2013, 2015 and 2016. There was a bit of pressure but, for me, it's always a good thing having pressure. (news.financializer.com).
