Around the last kilometre a motorbike braked hard," explained Froome on French TV after being presented with the yellow jersey. MONT VENTOUX (FRANCE) - Chris Froome kept hold of the Tour de France race leader's yellow jersey despite a crash with a motorcycle on Thursday that threatened to wreck his race hopes. "After his performances in the Tour so far he (Froome) is the rightful owner of the yellow jersey. Yates, who was provisionally announced as the new leader, said he agreed with the race jury's decision to change the initial results. I wouldn't have wanted to take the jersey like this," said the 23-year-old Briton.
