British cyclist Chris Froome finished safely in the peloton during stage 16 of the Tour de France while Andy Murray confirms he'll miss the Rogers Cup in Toronto. Here's our review of the last 24 hours:
Reigning champion Chris Froome says he is looking forward to a rest day before the Tour de France heads to the Alps.
The yellow jersey holder finished 13th yesterday after a chaotic end to stage 16 which was won by Peter Sagan to maintained his overall lead of one minute 47 seconds.
Fellow Brit Mark Cavendish was in contention with 500m to go but was unable to win his fifth stage of the Tour.
"The last few kilometres was pretty sketchy," Froome told ITV4. "There was lots of road furniture, lefts and rights, and then there were the cobbles - we were just trying to stay out of trouble.
