Tour de France
Froome wins mountain time trial, increases Tour lead
By ANDREW DAMPF
Associated Press
MEGEVE, France — Chris
Froome won a mountain time
trial and opened up a seemingly
insurmountable lead of nearly four
minutes over his closest challenger
in the 18th stage of the Tour de
France on Thursday.
Riding in a yellow bodysuit
and yellow aerodynamic helmet,
Froome pumped his right ist after
clocking slightly more than half
an hour over the 17-kilometer
(10.5-mile) route from Sallanches
to the Megeve ski resort — which
featured majestic views of Mont
Blanc.
“He deserves his win. He’s the
strongest,” said cycling great Eddy
Merckx, a ive-time Tour winner. “I
can’t see what could prevent him
from keeping this yellow jersey
until Paris. His opponents just stay
on his teammates’ wheels. Barring
an incident, nobody can beat him on
this Tour.”
Taking his second stage win of
this year’s Tour, Froome inished 21
seconds ahead of Dutch rider Tom
Dumoulin.

minutes, 52 seconds over Dutch
rider Bauke Mollema will be

Supporters cheer Britain’s Chris Froome, wearing the overall lead-
er’s yellow jersey as he rides during the eighteenth stage of the
Tour de France cycling race, an individual time trial over 17 kilo-
meters (10.6 miles) with start in Sallanches and inish in Megeve,
France, Thursday, July 21, 2016.
dificult to erase over the inal two
Alpine stages before Sunday’s
mostly ceremonial inish on the
Champs-Elysees in Paris.
“The main thing for me now is
staying safe,” Froome said. “Obvi-
ously I’ve got a fantastic advantage
now. So now it’s about looking after
that advantage and not taking any
risks.
“It’s not over until we cross
that inal inish line, but today is a
huge boost of conidence,” Froome
added. “I think over these next
couple of days we’re going to see
more of a race for podium spots.”
Froome stood only ifth at the
irst checkpoint, the top of the Cote
de Domancy climb, but the British
rider clearly saved energy for the
second half of the stage, surging in
front over the inal kilometers.
“It was a pulsating race, but I
knew it was going to be dificult.
I was expecting to lose,” said
Dumoulin, who rode 90 minutes
before the race leader. “Froome just
showed he is the strongest.”
Spanish Vuelta champion Fabio
Aru of Italy inished third in the
stage, 33 seconds behind.
It was the Tour’s irst mountain
time trial since the 2004 race against
the clock up l’Alpe d’Huez. Besides
the lat opening four kilometers (2.5
miles) and a short descent at the
inish, it was entirely uphill.
Adam Yates of Britain remained
third overall, 4:16 behind, and
two-time runner-up Nairo Quintana
stayed fourth but now trails by 4:37
after another dificult day for the
Colombian.
Froome’s other stage win this
year came with an audacious
downhill attack in Stage 8 in the
Pyrenees. The Kenyan-born rider
with Team Sky also won a time trial
in the 2013 Tour, when he took his
irst overall victory.
Having also won the Tour last
year, Froome is on course for his
third title in four years.
Considering that most of the
route was uphill, many riders used
road bikes itted with bars to lay
their arms on for a more aerody-
namic position.
Froome was one of the few
riders to use a full time trial setup
with an aerodynamic rear disc
wheel instead of traditional spokes.
“I think that was a big part of
today’s stage, selecting the right
equipment,” Froome said. “The
other aspect of today was pacing. It
was important not to go too fast too
early.”
Fans lined the major climb of the
route, the Cote de Domancy, getting
up close to the riders to shout
encouragement — with glaciers
and snowcapped mountains in the
distance.
Stage 19 on Friday follows
a 146-kilometer (91-mile) route
over four ascents from Albertville
to Saint-Gervais Mont Blanc.
The penultimate leg on Saturday
concludes with a tricky descent to
Morzine after four more climbs
through the Alps.
