Chris Froome re-enacts famous Mont Ventoux run (video)

In July Chris Froome (Team Sky) took his third Tour de France victory, but the stand-out moment of the three week race came not when he was on his bike but rather when he was on foot on Mont Ventoux.

Going down in a crash with Richie Porte (BMC Racing) and Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo), after the former collided with a race moto, Froome was left with a broken bike.

Worried that his Tour lead was slipping away he took off on foot up the slopes of Mont Ventoux. This weekend, whilst appearing at L’Étape London by Le Tour de France sportive, Froome showed fans how to run with their bikes as he re-enacted the famous moment on a lane in Essex.

This time it looks like the Team Sky leader was wearing trainers rather than cleats, which would make the whole endeavour much easier.

Watch out for the fan trying to get a selfie just at the moment Froome does a runner.

Another cyclist showing good skills was the Novo Nordisk Development rider David Nickels in the Six Gap Criterium.

This on-bike footage shows his skipping over and swerving fallen riders who'd gone down on a corner ahead of him in the final kilometre.

The races, which run from October 9 to 16, will see the next world champions crowned in the individual road races, individual time trials and the team time trials.
