Four-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome has ended his illustrious career in professional cycling.
The 41-year-old British rider has not raced since one serious accident In August 2025 when he collided head-on with a road sign at over 30mph and suffered five broken ribs, a collapsed lung and a lumbar vertebra fracture.
Froome’s wife later said that doctors discovered a pericardial laceration — an injury in which the sac surrounding the heart is torn — during surgery and were able to repair it.
“Unfortunately, that disaster happened last summer – it wasn’t the way I wanted it to end. But even then, I knew it was over,” Froome told Belgian broadcaster Sporza.
The Kenyan-born rider retired as one of the most decorated cyclists in history, having won seven Grand Tours with Team Sky (now Team Ineos).
His four Tour de France victories came in 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017. Only four men – Jacques Anquetil, Bernard Hinault, Miguel Indurain and Eddy Marcoux – have won more Tour de France titles.
He won the Giro d’Italia in 2018 and the Vuelta a España in 2011 and 2017, and claimed two Olympic bronze medals in individual time trials in 2012 and 2016.
Froome was made an OBE in 2015 for his services to cycling.
