Froome reclaims yellow as Martin in the wars

After one of the most bizarre Tour de France stages in recent years, overnight leader Chris Froome emerged from a day of chaos with the yellow jersey he claimed last Wednesday.

The Team Sky rider was third across the line in yesterday’s gruelling 185km trek from Nantua to Chambery and holds the coveted jersey going into today’s well-deserved rest day.

But it was a different story for many others in the race, including his teammate Geraint Thomas and Ireland’s Dan Martin.
