Froome dreaming of one last Tour de France

China Daily  

Professional cyclist Chris Froome is seen in the stands during the semi final between Norway's Casper Ruud and Serbia's Novak Djokovic at Monte Carlo Country Club, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France, April 13, 2024. Four-time Tour de France champion Chris Froome says he dreams of competing in the world's greatest cycling race once more before he calls time on his glittering career. "It's not crazy to think that I can return to the Tour," Froome, who won the race in 2013, 2015,2016 and 2017, said in an interview with Spanish daily Marca on Tuesday. While Froome says men's cycling is in a golden era, accidents have continued to overshadow the sport, with the death of Norway's Andre Drege at the Tour of Austria again highlighting the sport's risks.
