British cyclists take over Tour de France during 1st week (The Associated Press)

Chris Froome has the yellow jersey, Mark Cavendish has won three sprint stages, and Adam Yates sits second in the overall standings. It has been a very successful start to the Tour de France for British cyclists. ”It’s definitely not a fluke,” Froome said on Monday as the peloton enjoyed its first rest day, following nine stages which saw Froome’s Team Sky stamping its authority on the race.
