"It feels like it's been a rollercoaster, there have been amazing moments where it feels like we've really taken on the race and made the race," Froome added. MORZINE (FRANCE) - Chris Froome said this one feels as good as the first after all but wrapping up a third Tour de France title on Saturday. And after pulling on the yellow jersey that he will wear one more time on this year's race, Froome said it was up there with winning his first in 2013. Frenchman Romain Bardet followed up his second place finish to Froome in last month's Tour warm-up event, the Criterium du Dauphine, by finishing second again. "Right to the last finish line I had a lot of stress and a lot of emotion today," said the 31-year-old Briton.
