Four-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome has called time on his professional cycling career.

He suffered serious injuries during a training incident in August 2025 and has not raced since.

Speaking to Belgian broadcaster Sporza about whether he was retiring, the 41-year-old said: "Unfortunately, there was that crash last summer, that was not the way I wanted it to end. But even then, I knew it was over."
