CHERBOURG, France (Reuters) - Chris Froome's rivals need to be more aggressive if they are to prevent the Briton from winning a third Tour de France title and reap the benefits of offensive tactics, Alberto Contador's sports director said on Sunday.

Speaking to Reuters before the start of the second stage from Saint Lo to Cherbourg a day after the Tinkoff team leader suffered heavy bruises in a crash, Sean Yates said Contador could not be the only rider to attack.
