Chris Froome and Team Sky received a frosty welcome when presented at a pre-Tour de France ceremony on Thursday evening.

The opening stage of this year's Tour de France, Froome found himself forced off the road only 5 km shy of the finishing line. Recovering sufficiently to finish one minute behind the Colombian winner, Fernando Gaviria, Froome ended up in the wrong position of a chaotic finish to a largely sedate first stage.
