Speaking in Central London last night, Sir Chris Hoy criticised Tour de France organisers for allowing spectators to flood the roads during yesterday's Mont Ventoux stage.

Chris Froome, Richie Porte and Bauke Mollema spectacularly crashed into a TV motorbike which braked suddenly to avoid the throngs of spectators blocking the route. Froome ended up running up the mountain after his own bike was run over and damaged beyond repair.
