Team Sky's Chris Froome, right, heads for victory in the Tour de France on the streets of central Paris.
Photograph: John Giles/PA
In the 1980s theTour de France's watchword was mondialisation, the inevitableFranglais coined as thegreat race opened itself up to the world with the advent of Americans, Colombians, Canadians, Irish,
British and Australian cyclists. As the Tour became mondialis, however, Africa was largely missing
from the party, but that changed withChris Froome's victory.
Froome has a British passport but the newspaper L'Equipe's headline on Sunday "Out of Africa"reflected the fact that his background mountain-biking in the Rift Valley, speaking Swahili, wearing
Masai warriors' dress is as novel for the Tour as Greg LeMond's love of Mexican food and air
conditioning 30 years ago or the upbringing of the first Australian winner, Cadel Evans, in an
Aboriginal commune.
The 2013 tour will go down in the record books as a second successive British victory but, whereasSir
Bradley Wigginsborn in Ghent to an Australian father, raised in London was as archetypal an
English club cyclist as one could wish for, Froome is multinational. Born in Nairobi, educated in
Johannesburg, resident in Monaco, he is, however, completely British in his adoption ofTeam Sky's
approach tocycling,with its focus on rigid discipline and marginal gains.
Froome's was a dominant victory in the same vein as Wiggins's title of last year: a favourite announcedweeks in advance who targeted key moments and proved unstoppable. With hindsight this win was as
good as in the bag once he had survived his team's sticky day in the Pyrenees and had extended his lead
in the time trial at Mont Saint-Michel. It is a remarkable spell of dominance for Sky, who have held the
yellow jersey for 26 of the last 34 stages of the Tour de France since Wiggins took the lead on 7 July
last year.
Froome is a curious hybrid athlete, a wafer-thin climber"an x-ray on top of a pair of thighs," as one
French paper put it but able to time-trial at record speeds. He is well mannered to a fault but thathides an utterly determined athlete. Team Sky general manager SirDave Brailsfordsays: "There is a
point with Froomie where he won't be pushed around. There's a fighter in there but because he has this
fantastic polite sheen you don't expect it when it does come out. He's so polite but all of a sudden he'll
just be very committedif you push him too hard he'll just say, 'No, I'm not doing that.'"

Those qualities shone through at Froome's toughest moments, most notably when he was on his own,
without team-mates during the second stage in the Pyrenees, and under pressure.
"I thought about it logically and said, OK, it didn't actually change my race too much; I still have to
follow these three guys who are my main threats. It would have been easy to just sit in the bunch and
not follow the attacks of guys like [Nairo] Quintana. But I thought 'I've worked bloody hard to get here,
I'm not just going to let this race ride away from me'." Brailsford, right, said he felt that collectivelySky had matured since their win of last year with Wiggins and that showed in the way the team tendedto choose their moments rather than try to dominate every kilometre. "Patience is a key thing. You
have to bide your time, strike when the moment comes and then bide your time again and stay calm."
This was a less defensive race from the British team, with Froome's stage wins at Ax Trois Domaines
and Mont Ventoux a far cry from last year's more conservative style. It drew plaudits from the five-
times winner Bernard Hinault, who felt that Froome's willingness to go on the offensive rather than
letting his adversaries set the tone was straight out of The Badger's tactics' manual. "It's the best way to
do it; he doesn't panic and I didn't see anyone worrying him. His team wasn't as strong as last year's but
the way the Tour route was has suited him down to the ground."
Asked to highlight one factor that he felt had contributed the most to Froome's victory Brailsford hailedhis star's "mental resilience" as outstanding. "His ability to stay calm in the face of adversity, to keep
his cool in the face of non-stop questioning, the same questions a million times, is phenomenal."
Brailsford described the persistent questioning of Froome's performances as unacceptable but both he
and his protg know it is inevitable in the wake of Lance Armstrong's unmasking last October.
The mental strength Froome showed "pervades the rest of the group", said Brailsford, and that spirit
was seen in the way the team responded to a challenge that was far greater than guiding Wiggins to
victory last year. Tribute should be paid to the British coach Rod Ellingworth, whose academy at
British Cycling produced three of the six Sky team-mates who supported Froome through the Tour:Geraint Thomas, Peter Kennaugh and Ian Stannard.
Thomas's contribution stands out because a fractured pelvis on day one left him close to quitting the
race; by the end he was contributing as much as any of his team. "Trying to manage the race so Geraintcould finish it took an awful lot of time and effort," said Brailsford. The Welshman's defining momentwas the first 700 metres of the team time trial when, if he failed to hold the pace of his team-mates he
faced the prospect of riding the stage alone and possibly finishing outside the time limit.
"He said: 'Right, I am going to approach this 700m like it is the final of the Olympic team pursuit.' It
was like his life depended on it that morning. Sure enough, not only did he get on but four kilometresinto the race he's [putting his] thumbs up."
The Tour is won but there will be no let-up for the winner. Froome will spend the next two weeks
racing a series of criteriums in Belgium and the Netherlands some organised by the same promoters
who decided Mark Cavendish was not welcome at their races before a stint of racing and training at
altitude in Colorado to prepare for the world road-race championships in Florence at the end ofSeptember, where the climber's course should suit him.
Froome is tipped to dominate the Tour for the foreseeable future but that will depend on the
development of this year's crop of new prospects, led by the Colombian Nairo Quintana.
Froome and Brailsford believe the Briton can improve further. "He has all the physical and mental
attributes to be competitive in this race, if nothing drastic changes, for quite some time," Brailsford
said. "He is not at his best yet, for sure. I think he has all the ingredients of a multiple champion."
In 11 months' time the Tour de France caravan will assemble in Sheffield, which will present a simpler
logistical challenge than Corsica this year. When Britain hosts the Tour for the fourth time, it will boast
the defending champion and his predecessor, not to mention the world's top sprinter in Cavendish.

It has been a massive turnaround for a nation which did not field a single cyclist in the 2004 and 2005
races. Froome is now part of that rags-to-riches story.
