SGFormer Tour de France champion Chris Froome has officially retired from professional cycling after a career spanning over two decades. Froome announced his decision ahead of the 2025 Tour de France, which began on July 4. His retirement follows a severe training accident in 2024 that resulted in life-threatening injuries, including broken ribs, a collapsed lung, and a back fracture. Despite recovering from those injuries, Froome faced additional setbacks, including a broken collarbone during the UAE Tour in 2025, which prevented him from participating in the Tour de France. Throughout his career, Froome achieved significant success, winning seven Grand Tours—four Tour de France titles, two Vuelta a Espana victories, and one Giro d'Italia win—as well as multiple Olympic and world championship medals.
