Praise for Wiggins go-slow after Tour sabotage

Yellow jersey Bradley Wiggins was praised for calling a truce on a controversial day at the Tour de France as the race was sabotaged by spectators laying tacks in the road.

The Tour resumes with today’s 158.5-kilometre 15th stage from Samatan to Pau with organisers having made a formal complaint to French police after tacks caused around 30 punctures on yesterday’s 14th stage.
