Bare-arsed cheek

Chris Froome has all but sealed his second Tour de France title today after managing to make it up the most famous stage of the endurance event.

The Team Sky rider managed to avoid any pitfalls on his way up the almost wall like climb of Stage 19 as he saw Thiabut Pinot claim the stage win on Alpe-d’Huez.

Froom is to start tomorrow with a lead of one minute and 12 seconds and perhaps it was the sight of a bare bottom that helped him up the very hard climb after a gruelling 19 days on the bike.

Alpe d’Huez normally attracts the maddest and weird of the world’s cycling fans and it was no different today as this ‘gentleman’ decided to moon the whole entire race and actually keep up with riders.

That wasn’t the only bit of drama as Carlton Kirby on Eurosport decided to have a pop at an overly enthuasistic Irishman as he tried to support the riders towards the final stages of the race
