At this stage of his career I think he should consider making space for a younger and hungrier rider Sadly the end is nigh… https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/chris-froome-cyclist-for-israel-premier-tech-hospitalized-after-training-crash/ Four-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome will undergo surgery today after “a serious training crash” that saw the British cyclist airlifted to a hospital in France. Froome’s team Israel-Premier Tech says he is “stable and did not sustain any head injuries” but adds that scans confirmed a pneumothorax, five broken ribs and a lumbar vertebrae fracture. Froome was taken to hospital in Toulon by helicopter yesterday after the accident, which happened while he was training near Saint-Raphaël. His team says “no other cyclists or vehicles were involved.” This latest incident could spell the end of Froome’s career as his contract with Israel-Premier Tech — which he joined in 2021 — is coming to an end.
DieselnDust Posted August 28, 2025 Posted August 28, 2025 Eish, I hope he heals up well and quickly but for his sake I hope he considers retirement seriously. it’s well past the time to hang the helmet and contribute in some other way

Eugene Oppelt Posted March 25 Author Posted March 25 It’ll be strange if he does not announce his retirement unless I missed the news somewhere. Nairo Quintana to retire at the end of 2026.
