Chris Froome has tweeted a picture of his mangled bike after being rammed off the road by a hit-and-run driver while training in southern France.

The Team Sky cyclist, who won last year’s Tour de France, said he had been ‘rammed on purpose by an impatient driver who followed me onto the pavement’.

The Team Sky rider wrote: ‘Just got rammed on purpose by an impatient driver who followed me onto the pavement! Thankfully I’m okay. Bike totaled. Driver kept going!’

The picture was geotagged from Beausoleil in France, close to Froome’s home in Monaco.

Last month, former Giro d’Italia winner Michele Scarponi of the Astana team was killed when he was knocked off his bike by a van while training in Italy.
