Tour de France winner runs over towards parents initially. Sweet! (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
lemon drop
'sweet' is the definition.
(type of sweet)
'tour de france winner runs over towards parents initially' is the wordplay.
'tour de france winner' becomes 'LeMond' (cyclist Greg LeMond).
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'towards' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'initially' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'parents' is 'p'.
'lemond'+'r'+'o'+'p'='LEMON DROP'
(Another definition for lemon drop that I've seen is " Fruit sweet".)
