It’s mine to lose, says Tour de France leader Chris Froome

Dan Martin is on course for his highest overall finish in six attempts at the Tour de France as he’s currently sixth on General Classification, three places higher than he ended up last year.

The QuickStep Floors rider, who is out of contract at the end of the season, has had a brilliant three weeks and with today’s time-trial the only chance for him to move up ahead of tomorrow’s ceremonial ride into Paris, he’ll be keen to end on a high.

He won’t threaten the podium as he’s 2’56 off race leader Chris Froome (Team Sky), Romain Bardet (Ag2r La Mondiale) is at 23 seconds while third-place Rigobert Uran (Cannondale) is just six seconds further behind the Kenyan-born British rider who is aiming for his third Tour in-a-row.
