Celebration as France lifts the trophy

It’s been a spectacular month of sport, with the World Cup in Russia delivering drama and surprise in equal measures. But now that France has won the cup and the fans are going home, it’s left a sports-shaped hole in the lives of many fans. But don’t fret, help is at hand…

First up there’s the Tour de France which is already underway as it started on 7 July. But it finishes at the end of the month on 29 July. So plenty of action and many stories still lie ahead.

Auto manufacturer Ford has supplied Team Sky with a specially liveried Ford Ranger, designed to help Team Sky stay ahead of the competition. “The Tour de France throws up everything from icy peaks to muddy cobblestones and Ranger is a great go-anywhere addition to the fleet of support vehicles,” said Servais Knaven, Team Sky’s sport director.

Ford says the practical pickup will spread the message of its ‘Share the Road’ safety campaign that aims to foster greater harmony and empathy between both drivers and cyclists.
