Chris Froome runs up Mont Ventoux 2016

Chris Froome of Great Britain and Team Sky was forced to run up Mont Ventoux on Stage 12 of the 2016 Tour de France after his bike was not in a rideable state following a crash with a cameraman’s motorbike (not our photographer we must point out!) – Quite literally thinking on his feet – Chris Froome began running up the hill until he could find a replacement bike to finish the stage. Having borrowed a bike from a team mate he finished the stage and went on to claim his 3rd Tour de France title.
