Froome repays Kennaugh as Sky pair dominate stage (Reuters)
Tour de France champion Chris Froome presented a token of appreciation to team mate Peter Kennaugh by allowing the 26-year-old to claim a stage victory and the overall lead of the Herald Sun Tour on Thursday. Kennaugh leads fellow Briton Froome by seven seconds in the overall standings after the Team Sky pair dominated the first stage which started and finished in Healesville. “It’s really a nice feeling being able to give something back to Peter Kennaugh,” Froome, making his first race appearance in potentially the biggest season of his career, told reporters after completing the 126 km stage.
