Kennaugh Tour de France selection is a 'dream come true'

Peter Kennaugh has said he is "up for the challenge" of helping Team Sky team-mate Chris Froome win the Tour de France, which begins on Saturday.

Last week the Isle of Man rider was named in their nine-strong squad tasked with helping Froome to victory.

The 24-year-old said: "It's going to be tough but I am completely focussed on helping Chris and the team."

Kennaugh, who is equally at home on the road or the track, will be making his debut at cycling's biggest race.
