What’s next for Chris Froome Lollipop?

After becoming only the second British man to win the Tour de France that is what everyone is asking.

The 28-year-old took the title by more than four minutes ahead of Colombian Nairo Quintana and Joaquim Rodriguez of Spain.

After winning stage eight’s mountain-top finish at Ax 3 Domaines Froome took the race leader’s bold yellow jersey and kept it all the way to the finish in Paris.

If Lollipop were him she would never want to take it off. You would never want to forget the day your team succeeded in making two back to back British victors on the toughest cycling circuit.

It took Coach David Brailsford four years to make Team Sky unbeatable and now at the top of their sport it will be fascinating to see where they go now,

There is no London 2012 to set their bikes on. Other events like the Tour de Pologne and the Clasica San Sebastian take place this summer but for Froome his target will be the rainbow jersey on offer for September’s UCI world road race championships in Tuscany for which the champion will prepare in the mountains of Colorado.

“My focus has just been on the Tour up until now, but being world champ, that’s probably the second biggest thing after wearing the yellow jersey,” said Froome.

So it seems we will be seeing a lot more of this champ as he hopes to be riding in the Tour de France year after year.

For Froome this is only the beginning of something he’s worked so hard for. His fiancée Michelle Cound told BBC Sport: “People are saying Chris has come from nowhere but it has taken him more than 10 years to become an overnight success.”

Many will want to compare him to last year’s victor Sir Bradley Wiggins but Froome is younger, determined and ready to win again.

Our champ was born in Kenya to English parents in 1985. He has a Welsh grandmother and his family moved to Africa from Gloucestershire. As a skinny teenager he struggled to make it to the roads in Europe – He did not even visit the UK until he competed in the 2007 Tour of Britain but says he has “always felt British.”

He joined Team Sky in 2010 when the spotlight was clearly on Wiggins. Now three years on after winning Bronze in the Olympic Games Time Trial and now the 100^th Tour de France things have definitely changed.

He dedicated his incredible triumph to his mother Jane, who died of cancer in 2008.

Only Froome could truly say where he aims to go from here. And despite cycling going through a torrid period after Lance Armstrong admitted to doping in his seven Tour de France wins it’s amazing to see Team Sky hurtling to success with Lollipop and I racing to catch up.
