Cycling-Froome wins third Tour de France title

PARIS, July 24 (Reuters) - Britain's Chris Froome of Team Sky won his third Tour de France title after finishing Sunday's final stage safe in the bunch. The 31-year-old is the first rider, apart from the disgraced Lance Armstrong, to retain his title since Spain's Miguel Indurain won the last of his five consecutive titles in 1995. American Armstrong won seven titles in succession from 1999 but was erased from the winners' list after admitting to doping. (Reporting by Julien Pretot; Editing by Toby Davis)
