Summary

On the day the Tour de France returns to Mont Ventoux we look back at the last visit, in 2016, when chaos ensued and Chris Froome, in the yellow jersey, ended up running up the climb.

Helping us piece together what happened on Bastille Day, 2016, are Froome, Richie Porte, Serge Pauwels, Seb Piquet and the stage winner who few would remember, Thomas De Gendt.

Kilometre 0 by The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens: energy management for committed athletes and coaches.
