Tour de France continues with boosted security

Amid reinforced security a day after the deadly attack in Nice, the Tour de France rolled on and defending champion Chris Froome extended his overall lead on Friday.

Thousands of people lined the 23-mile time-trial route to La Caverne du Pont-D’Arc to celebrate the Tour and pay homage to the dozens killed and injured by a truck that drove through crowds celebrating Bastille Day.

Froome finished second to Tom Dumoulin on the 13th stage, but ahead of all other general classification contenders. A time trial specialist, Dumoulin was in a league of his own but Froome limited his time loss to 63 seconds.

There was a minute’s silence after the stage, as the yellow, green, and polka-dot jersey plus the stage winner gathered on the podium with bouquets.
