Chris Froome Wins Third Straight Tour

de France Title
It was the fourth championship overall for the British
cyclist

Riding a bright yellow bike to match his shiny leader's jersey,

defending champion Chris Froome won his fourth and most
challenging Tour de France title on Sunday, the AP reports.
The 32-year-old Kenyan-born British rider finished 54 seconds
ahead of Colombian Rigoberto Uran overall, the smallest
margin of his wins. This was the third straight win for the Team
Sky rider. His first in 2013 came the year after former
teammate Bradley Wiggins sparked off a mini-era of British
dominance.
Frenchman Romain Bardet, runner-up last year, placed 2
minutes, 20 seconds behind in third place, denying Spaniard
Mikel LandaFroome's teammatea podium spot by just one
second. Italian Fabio Aru finished fifth. As per tradition, the
21st stage was reserved for sprinters and mostly a procession
for Froome and the other overall leaders. Dutchman Dylan
Groenewegen won the final stage.
