'Every setback teaches you something' – Chris Froome returns to riding after crash, but remains quiet about future

CIESZYN, POLAND - AUGUST 07: Chris Froome of Great Britain and Team Israel - Premier Tech competes during the 82nd Tour de Pologne 2025, Stage 4 a 198.8km stage from Rybnik to Cieszyn / #UCIWT / on August 07, 2025 in Cieszyn, Poland. (Photo by Luc Claessen/Getty Images).

Four-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome has returned to riding after a serious crash in August that left him with a heart injury, but he is remaining quiet about his future and whether he will retire or race on in 2026.

Though he has worked to get back on the road, Froome does not have a contract for 2026 after his long-term deal with Israel-Premier Tech expired this year, and there are no rumblings that he may be in talks with another team, with retirement seeming likely for the 40-year-old, especially after the latest crash.
