Cycling-Froome loses Tour lead in Mont Ventoux chaos (Reuters)
* Froome’s bike broken in incident involving motorbike * Team Sky rider seen running up the Ventoux * Loses yellow jersey to fellow Briton Yates (Adds details, quotes) By Julien Pretot MONT VENTOUX, France, July 14 (Reuters) – Chris Froome lost his Tour de France overall leader’s yellow jersey after an incident involving a motorbike left him without a bike in a chaotic finale of the 12th stage on Thursday. The Briton’s bike was broken in a pile-up close to the finish and the Team Sky rider began running up the slopes of the Mont Ventoux before grabbing a service bike which did not work. Froome was then given a spare Team Sky bike on which he completed the 178-km stage, losing over 1:30 to his main rivals.
