Froome’s Tour de France Weapon Is Winner for French Entrepreneur

French entrepreneur Jean-Louis Talo says he is helping Chris Froome win the Tour de France.
Froome, who leads the race after 16 of 21 stages, is using a boxy-shaped aluminum chain-ring on his bicycle which Talo invented and says produces 5 percent more power than the round Shimano Inc. disc most of riders are using. Froome had the ring fitted on his bike even though the Sky team that employs him is sponsored by Shimano.
