Froome risks losing yellow jersey in wild 12th stage of Tour (The Associated Press)

Chris Froome risked losing the yellow jersey after his bike was broken in a bizarre crash at the wild conclusion to the 12th stage of the Tour de France on Thursday. In a complete embarrassment for race organizers on Bastille Day, Richie Porte crashed into a motorbike carrying a TV camera and Froome, who was following right behind his former teammate, also crashed in the final kilometer on the wind-shortened climb to Mont Ventoux. All of Froome’s main rivals crossed ahead of him but it wasn’t immediately clear if race officials would neutralize the finish and enable Froome to keep the lead.
