Tour de France leader Chris Froome came to the defence of former team-mate Mark Cavendish and hit out at the spectator who threw urine at the British sprint star.
The incident came a day after he was blamed for a collision that sent Argos rider Tom Veelers crashing to the ground. Speaking after holding on to the yellow jersey, Froome said what happened ‘ruined’ what has otherwise been a wonderful atmosphere. ‘It is disappointing to hear about one individual like that. Mark is one of the big characters in the sport. To do something disrespectful like that, that’s really sad.’
