Chris Froome celebrated winning this year's Tour de France like any normal person would - by drinking a beer and planting a kiss on his wife and baby son (pictured left and right).
The Brit enjoyed a cold brew as well as a glass of Champagne (shown inset) with his fellow Team Sky riders during the final and mostly ceremonial stage as it ended on the Champs-Elysees in Paris. Froome, riding a yellow bike to go with his yellow helmet, gloves and shoes, became only the eighth cyclist in history to win the prestigious event three times, with Sir Bradley Wiggins the only other Briton to ever claim the title. The Kenyan-born Brit will hope to add to his success in France with gold in Rio, when he takes part in the road race event at next month's Olympics. Should he win the discipline in Brazil, he would become the first cyclist to ever claim both the yellow jersey and an Olympic road race gold in the same year.
