Froome bites back as Nibali wins after controversial attack

Chris Froome was seething with defending champion Vincenzo Nibali after Stage 19.

Chris Froome was seething with defending champion Vincenzo Nibali as the Tour de France leader set up a duel for overall victory up Alpe-d’Huez with Nairo Quintana.

Nibali (Astana) was determined to rescue some consolation from his title defence ending poorly and surged to victory on Friday’s 138-kilometre 19th stage from Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne to La Toussuire.
