How Twitter is preparing for Tour de France’s final day
Published:
Chris Froome is practically guaranteed to make history in Paris on the Tour de France’s final day.
He’ll become the first Briton to win the sport’s most gruelling road race three times.
Being crowned Yellow Jersey winner for the third time in four years is in the bag for the Kenyan-born Froome after crossing the line with his four-minute, five-second lead over Romain Bardet in tact.
That was in spite of a penultimate-stage crash too.
Ahead of the final day of the Tour, Twitter prepared to crown a familiar face as their 2016 Tour de France champion:
