Chris Froome can’t get over Tadej Pogačar’s numbers
His contract with Israel–Premier Tech ends this year, which makes cycling fans wonder if this is his last dance. At 40, he is definitely getting up there for a pro male cyclist.
After a successful career which included four Tours de France, a Giro d’Italia and two Vuelta a Españas, things were seriously derailed in 2019. It was then he had a bad crash ahead of the Critérium du Dauphiné. The British rider sustained multiple fractures, including a broken femur and pelvis. He has never fully returned to the level he reached before that accident.
Earlier this year, he also crashed at the UAE Tour, breaking his collarbone.
