Froome is one of the most decorated cyclists in history.<\/p>\n

He has won seven Grand Tours, including one Giro d’Italia and two Vuelta a Espana titles alongside his Tour de France triumphs.<\/p>\n

He earned the first of his four Tour victories in 2013, before winning three successive titles between 2015 and 2017.<\/p>\n

Only four men – Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Miguel Indurain – have won more Tour de France titles.<\/p>\n

Froome won two Olympic bronze medals in the individual time trial in 2012 and 2016, and was made an OBE for his services to cycling in 2015.<\/p>\n

The Israel\u2013Premier Tech rider, who is out of contract at the end of the year, is expected to miss the remainder of the season with his injuries.<\/p>\n

In 2019, Froome was ruled out of the Tour de France, having been placed in intensive care after sustaining multiple injuries when he crashed into a wall<\/a> in training.<\/p>\n

Froome has previously suggested that 2025 could be his final year of competitive racing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Froome is one of the most decorated cyclists in history.
