24-hours after sealing his third Tour de France title, Chris Froome was back in his bike at the Aalst criterium in Belgium where the Team Sky rider took the win ahead of BMC's Greg Van Avermaet and Tinkoff's Rafal Majka, the winner of the king of the mountains classification. Peter Sagan was the winner last year while Froome took the victory in 2013.
Froome flew back to Belgium after visiting the Sky UK offices in London on Monday morning and rode a lap of honour on the Aalst course before the criterium got underway. Froome's next post-Tour criterium will be the Profronde Surhuisterveen on Tuesday.
The 'Daags na de Tour' Boxmeer criterium is also traditionally held on the Monday after the Tour with Froome's teammate Wout Poels also making the journey over from London for the Dutch criterium but was only good enough for the podium with Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo) taking home the spoils with IAM Cycling's Stef Clement in third.
