23. Froome had learned much of his cycling from David Kinjah, growing up in the Ngong Hills in Kenya. But this was the day he really showed how he had
become a master tactician.

24. Chris Froome tucks in behind Nairo Quintana on the desolate, windswept Mont Ventoux.

25. With the crowd urging them on, Froome would eventually secure the stage win by 29 seconds from Quintana.

26. Dave Brailsford, physio Dan Guillemette and team doctor Alan Farrell pose next to the Tom Simpson memorial on Mont Ventoux.

27. Chris Froome toasts the rest of Team Sky after his success on Mont Ventoux.

28. After success come yet more questions about doping. Froome and Dave Brailsford try to find the answers that will convince a sceptical world.

29. The Team Sky bus, designed with the help of Formula 1 teams, which is set up to provide maximum comfort for the cyclists.

30. Alberto Contador’s smile seems genuine enough, but he has just lost out to Chris Froome on the final time trial of the Tour.

31. The crowds for Stage Eighteen gave Chris Froome a mixed response, with some cheering him on, while others were more hostile.

32. His teammates made sure that Froome was well protected on his ride up Alpe d’Huez, and at the end of it all he had increased his grip on the
race.

33. Chris Froome is accompanied by press officer Dario Cioni after the end of Stage Twenty, which ensured he would be riding into Paris the next day as the
winner of the race.

34. Accompanied by his teammates, Froome celebrates as he crosses the finish line.

35. Jonathan Tiernan-Locke has his time-trialling position analysed during Team Sky’s pre-season training camp in Mallorca, but the year would end
with questions being asked about some anomalous readings in his biological passport data.
