Cycling: Downhill master Pantano wins Tour stage 15, Froome leads (Reuters)

By Julien Pretot CULOZ, France (Reuters) – Colombian Jarlinson Pantano showed he is a master of the descent as he claimed his maiden Tour de France win in Sunday’s 15th stage, while overall leader Chris Froome enjoyed a relatively quiet day in the saddle. Pantano outsprinted breakaway companion Rafal Majka (Tinkoff) of Poland at the end of a 160-km trek in the Jura mountains to give his IAM Cycling team, who will be folding at the end of the season, a first victory on the Tour. “I dreamt of this all my life, I’m so happy,” said Pantano.
