SAINT-NAZAIRE, France — The manager of Chris Froome's team promises that his star rider will never again be left exposed in his bid to win the Tour de France. Froome kept the yellow jersey on a ferociously tough mountain stage Sunday. The British rider will wear it when the race resumes Tuesday with Stage 10 following Monday's rest day.
