Froome in good shape for Tour after third Dauphine win (Reuters)

(Reuters) – Britain’s Chris Froome looks in good shape to defend his Tour de France title next month after winning the Criterium du Dauphine for the third time in four years on Sunday. The final 151km seventh stage from Le-Pont-de-Claix to Superdevoluy was won by another Briton Steve Cummings (Dimension Data), who broke away with 40km to go. “Coming into this week I hoped I’d be fighting for the podium,” Froome told Eurosport television.
