WE’RE ALL CLAIMING HIM:

2nd August 2013

The celebrations over Chris Froome’s victory in this year’s Tour de France were not confined to the Champs-Élysées, or even to the streets of Britain. The celebrations also spread to Africa, where Froome first began expressing his passion for cycling. Born in Nairobi, Kenya, in 1985, he moved to Johannesburg when he was 14 to complete his schooling at St John’s College, before studying at the University of Johannesburg for a couple of years. Many Africans and South Africans might be claiming easy victories. But still, we are mighty proud to be associated with both Froome and Jeppe old boy Daryl Impey, who wore the coveted yellow jersey during the earlier stages of what was the hundredth edition of the world-famous race.
