Chris Froome is starting his 21st Grand Tour and as a tribute to his wins on all three Grand Tours, the British legend will be racing a special bike made by Factor with a decoration symbolizing his career success.
As shared by Israel - Premier Tech this morning, in the mountains of the Vuelta Froome will be using an Ostro VAM which has the yellow, red and pink colours spread throughout the frame. The frame also includes a phoenix and the quote "If you fall, dare to rise again" as the 37-year old looks to regain as much form as possible after the crash that has changed his career over three years ago.

Froome will be, at least until the opening mountain stages, eyeing the overall classification at the Vuelta - a race he's won in 2011 and 2017. He's suffered with Covid-19 which forced him to abandon the Tour de France and has talked about how it was not easy for him, but has taken up training ahead of the Vuelta.
Israel - Premier Tech finished the opening team time-trial in 16th spot loosing 1:04 to Jumbo-Visma, and start today's second stage with an eye on the ambitions of Itamar Einhorn for the expected bunch sprint.
