Twitter reacts to Chris Froome's struggles on Mont Ventoux
There was a humorous side to Chris Froome's unfortunate problems on Mont Ventoux, with Twitter obviously the place to find it

Chris Froome finishes Stage 12 of the 2016 Tour de France following an incident with a motorbike.
You've all seen the footage by now: Richie Porte crashes into an motorbike and Chris Froome is forced to run up Mont Ventoux without a bike.
While the Tour de France yellow jersey holder was struggling, Twitter was ablaze with opinion on whether Froome should keep the lead despite finishing well behind his rivals.
Luckily there was also some humour to be had, but first a great picture posted by Bauke Mollema of the crash he was also caught up in.
