Chris Froome moves up from 4th to first on penultimate mountain stage of the Giro d'Italia, after breaking away with 80km to go. Goes into last proper day with a 40 second lead, while Simon Yates who had been the GC leader, finished 38 minutes back on the tough climb.
A couple of spectators chased Froome with a giant asthma inhaler :
Congrats to my SPOTY even if the actual winner will be anyone but
it seems amazing that Froome's hearing won't be until after the Tour of France
Sensational riding from Froome. Cycling of legendary status before our eyes.
FROOME WINS GIRO D'ITALIA!!
First British rider to win event
Feel sorry for yates. lets hope he can recover and do well in the tour again
^I do too let's hope the experience does him good
UCI drop case Against Chris Froome he's free to ride in the Tour De France Starting Saturday
But he'll take a hell of abuse from the partizan French and Spainish supporters.
The French police need to give him protection - but being French they won't
