Narrow escape for Froome in Tour drama
While Rui Costa raced to a solo stage win, Alberto Contador was attacking Froome so hard the Spaniard came off his bike on the way down the Col de Manse — a road that has seen its fair share of Tour drama over the years – and Froome had to veer off into the verge to avoid going over himself.
Froome accused the Spaniard of riding dangerously and admitted he feared it would be worse.
