Hit-and-run caravan-towing motorist knocks cyclist off after close pass dispute cycling
Former teammate and fellow member of the exclusive 'British Tour de France winners' club Sir Bradley Wiggins was pleased to see Chris Froome back at the front of the race in the high mountains."That's testament to all the hard work and sacrifice him and his family have gone through these last few years since that big crash, great ride."
Wiggins also quite rightly had plenty of positives to mention about the stage winner, and man of the moment, Tom Pidcock:"I think we all are a bit [lost for words]. I still think of him as a young kid racing in the UK and he's won on Alpe d'Huez at his first Tour de France. The extent of his talent, I don't know where he goes from here. We say that every time he does something, but it's amazing. It truly is amazing.
"To go on the descent of the Galibier, to bridge across to the group and then be one of the instigators driving it forward all day. His descending today was off the scale. He's got such a mature head on him. It's incredible to see."Tour de France leaves the Alps — stage 13 from Bourg d'Oisans to Saint Etienne: It's the 27th time that Saint-Etienne, the city that was once the centre of France’s bicycle industry, will have hosted a stage of the race.
