Chris Froome menang Tour de France

Chris Froome telah menepati ramalan sebagai favourite untuk memenangi Tour de France edisi ke-100 dengan meninggalkan Quintana di tempat ke-2 dengan 4 minit 20 saat. Quintana juga telah memenangi kategori pelumba muda dan King of Mountain. Jersi Hijau kekal milik Peter Sagan. 

Ada yang mengatakan sepatutnya Froome telah menang sejak dari 2012 sewaktu beliau membantu Bradley Wiggins menjadi atlet British pertama memenangi TdF di mana Froome lebih hebat dalam stage berbukit seperti mana beliau telah memenangi 2 stage termasuk Vermont di mana kali terakhir pemegang Jersi Kuning memenangi stage tersebut adalah pada 1970 oleh Eddy Merck. 

TdF telah menutup tirainya pada Stage 21 yg tamat di Paris Champ-Elysees di mana Marcel Kittel telah menamatkan penguasaan Mark Cavendish selama 4 tahun berturut-turut di pentas penamat ini.

To mark the end of production of its limited 500-unit run LFA, Lexus has come up with an F Sport bicycle that employs the same Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) used in the supercar body, reports Lexus Enthusiast, which also posted these images.

The bicycle has a Dura-Ace Di2 electrically-controlled gearchange mechanism for easy shifting through the 22 speeds. Each unit has been assembled by Takumi (Taiwanese bicycle maker) technicians and painted to LFA standards.

According to Lexus Enthusiast, each Lexus regional office has been given the option of ordering these cycles, but with only two units in the US and one in Canada, they remain very rare.

The Motomachi facility gave birth to the last Lexus LFA on December 14, 2012, after having hand-built the car for two years. The Lexus LFA had a 4.8 litre V10 that produced 560 PS and 480 Nm of torque, allowing a 0-100 km/h time of under four seconds and a top whack of 325 km/h
