Video: Froome v Kittel arm wrestle
It’s the video you didn’t know you were waiting for: Marcel Kittel taking on Chris Froome in an arm wrestle.
The footage, from a press event, was posted by Tour de France organisers ASO ahead of their Shanghai Criterium.
Not sure this really counts as a spoiler, but Froome – a nine-time winner of the World’s Spindliest Arms Competition (disclaimer: not an actual thing) – is admirably whole-hearted in his efforts.

Froome later tweeted.
I let @marcelkittel have it... didn’t want to embarrass him #ShanghaiCriterium https://t.co/xpEGLr4d2B

We’d give Froome points for maintaining good humour throughout what was never going to be a glorious opportunity for him to showcase his physical prowess.
He had a fair stab at the on-stage Tai Chi too.

Froome did at least win the subsequent bike race after getting away as part of an almost-too-good-to-be-true break with Tour de France runner-up Rigoberto Uran; King of the Mountains winner Warren Barguil; and Alberto Contador, in what you could perhaps call his final race.
