Froome latest .

He's invested in Factor bikes: https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/chris-froome-invests-in-team-sponsor-factor-bikes

I'm guessing he's realised it's almost the end of an illustrious career.

Chris Froome: Knee injury sets back British rider's 2022 preparations - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/59857140

He is already having a problem early on in training.

At what point does he finally say 'enough is enough'?

He must love what he does, and presumably (?) he is still earning a good living from it, but it sounds like his body is trying to tell him something that he just isn't listening to. Still, I suppose that is the difference between a champion and a more typical athlete...

 

[Ming the Merciless]

He’s getting in a bit now isn’t he?

 

[Adam4868]

At what point does he finally say 'enough is enough'

Maybe when he's out of a 5 million contract ?

Seriously - he still gets 5 million?

I reckon I could manage a year or two beyond my use-by-date for that!

It is amazing and scary how quickly athletes go from WOW! to WHO?

Obviously, CF didn't do himself any favours by slamming into a wall at high speed but even if he hadn't, I couldn't see him threatening the new generation of super riders... Pog, Rog et al.

Hard for Chris to disappoint me 😍

Hard for Chris to disappoint me 😍

Seriously, I hope he gets in the mix occasionally at least.

Seeing as though there's nobody listening....I think his best days are behind him.
Some career though,it's mad to think how dominant he was in GTs

Top rider and I like his back story too.

Never understood the CF haters - but, like all sports, pro-cycling is partisan.
