Video: Chris Froome vs Mont Ventoux - the slapstick version

Meme seems destined to run and run ... even Sir Dave Brailsford is getting in on the act

Five days on, and it's clear the Chris Froome vs Mont Ventoux memes will run and run (sorry - ed).

Here's one that's particularly tickled us, harking back to the silent movie era as images of the Tour de France leader running up the climb are given the slapstick treatment.

And what else could the music be but Yakety Sax, better known as the Benny Hill theme?

Here's Team Sky principal Sir Dave Brailsford doing his best Froome impression a couple of days ago, tweeted by the two-time Tour de France winner himself.

Liked that. I'm pretty sure even Saving Private Ryan would have been funny if set to Benny Hill music.

YES it makes it 10X more entertaining,  1 if you increase the film speed, make it B + W and add Benny Hill music.
