Stage 18 of the Tour de France pitted riders against the clock and gravity for a 17km uphill time trial.

Get inside the peloton on stage 17
Although on-board is no longer a new novelty, it’s still interesting to get a view inside the peloton and nearly all of us will never get the chance to be in amongst it in person.

Chris Froome running up Mont Ventoux will be remembered for the rest of time at the Tour, but his boss saw the funny side and even performed an impression of his top rider.
Sir Dave Brailsford is looking quite lean too, so has obviously been practising what he preaches when it comes to marginal gains.
