Britain's 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Chris Froome had nothing but praise for team worker and national champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Ian Stannard for his strong riding in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:UCI Road World Championships on Sunday. Stannard chased d✨own breaks by riders as powerful as Andrew Talansky as well as guiding Jonathan Tiernan-Locke to the foot of the Cauberg on the last lap, when he and the British climber were the last two riders from their country in the front group.

"He did the ride of his life today," Froome told Cyclingnews. "For a big boy like him to get round a course like this - that's really impressive. Also JT, this is his first race at over 200 kilometres, to come to a World Championships like this and do so well, that's an achievement i🎃n itself."

Given Tiernan-Locke had some of cycling's very top names working for him, Froome said it was a situation wh൲ere "he was probably feeling a bit of pressure and a bit surprised to have a whole team working for him like that, but he rose to the occasion and did what he wanted to do."

Visibly tired after a tough season, Froome joked that he was "happy to have made it to the circuit💛 [after the first 101 kilometres from Maastricth to the Valk💫enburg circuit] and not have to hitch-hike home."

"I pulled out after about 190 kilometres, I could see t🧸hat there was no job left for me, Belgium were pulling and we had Steve [Cummings✨] in the break. It was time to stop."

Froome's season is now over, "from the real races at🔥 least, although I may do a couple of invitational events. It's time to 🃏switch off and ease back."
