Biking
After almost a month of elite-level biking, Chris Froome will arrive in Paris as a champion and join all-time greats at the Olympus of biking.
After 77 hours and 10 minutes of adrenaline-draining race, Froome is in the verge of repeating the accomplishment of his Team Sky teammate Bradley Wiggins, who gave Great Britain its first Tour de France victory last year.
Chris Froome fired back at his critics on Monday, stressing he did not use performance enhancing drugs or undergo doping procedure to dominate this year's Tour de France.
Chris Froome showed he's one of the best in the world when it comes to individual time trial as he finished just 12 seconds slower than eventual Stage 11 winner Tony Martin of Germany on Wednesday. With his terrific performance in ITT, Froome further padded his lead over his next trailer Alejandro Valverde of Spain by three minutes and 25 seconds.
Sprinters were on the move again on Tuesday with German Argos-Shimano pedal-pusher Marcel Kittel cruising to his second victory at the 2013 Tour de France. Kittel along with compatriot André Greipel and Great Britain's sprinter Mark Cavendish were the top three finishers at the conclusion of Stage 10 but Slovakian Peter Sagan still holds the green jersey with a decent fourth-place finish in the race.
