The Giro d'Italia/Tour de France double remains possible, says Chris Froome after falling short of this ambitious goal in the 2018 season.

Team Sky's star became the first Brit to win the Giro d'Italia in May and built specifically for the Tour de France, where he already won four times before. However, he was slightly off his best. Assuming all ends well in Paris tomorrow, he managed third overall behind Sky team-mate Geraint Thomas and Tom Dumoulin (Team Sunweb) in second.
