FOIX, France (Reuters) - Chris Froome remains in contention for a fourth Tour de France title after Team Sky put the pressure on their rivals with a perfectly executed plan in Friday's 13th stage, won on Bastille Day by France's Warren Barguil.

The plan could be a double-edged sword, though, now that Froome's team mate Mikel Landa has emerged as a potential Tour winner himself.
