Jenson Button pays tribute to Chris Froome on the Ventoux!

For all sports enthusiasts in general, one of the standout images of the summer will remain the 12th stage of the Tour de France, which took the riders from Montpellier to Mont Ventoux. Christopher Froome, who fell in the final meters of this stage shortened to Chalet Reynard due to wind, found himself on foot, without a bike, and forced to run towards the finish line in the hope of being provided with a bike before the summit.

This image visibly impressed his compatriot Jenson Button, an avid cyclist who also owns a sportswear brand dedicated to triathlon. He did not fail to pay tribute to the three-time Tour de France winner during a visit to Mont Ventoux before flying to Germany.

And yes of course we did the last bit of the Mont Ventoux climb on foot! This one is for you @chrisfroome. Thanks for the vid @paulrymanfitness @tomdudden

Epic couple of days climbing Mont Ventoux with this lot.. Great company/banter with a bit of sweat and tears. 1600metres of climbing in 22km’s. 😳 #montventoux #ventoux
