MARSEILLE, France (AP) —
Chris Froome stands on the
doorstep of the Tour de
France’s greatest champi-
ons.
Sewing up his fourth Tour
crown with a cool-as-a-
cucumber ride in a high-
pressure time trial in heat-
baked Marseille on Satur-
day means he needs just
one victory more to join
the record-holders who
have five.
His winning margin in this
Tour, 54 seconds over Rigo-
berto Uran of Colombia
going into Sunday’s pro-
cessional final stage, is nar-
rower than Froome’s previ-
ous wins in 2013, 2015, and
2016. It is the first he has
won by less than one min-
ute.
