With the Tour de France quickly approaching, Chris Froome's hopes of making a return to the Grand Tour have been boosted with his selection for the Critérium du Dauphiné confirmed by Israel - Premier Tech.
Froome, who is a three-time winner of the Critérium du Dauphiné (2013, 2015 & 2016 ed.), recently said it was "still way too early to say," if he'd be allowed a potential Tour de France swansong later this summer, only returned to action from injury at the Mercan'Tour Classic, working primarily in a supporting role for his teammates and eventually coming home nearly 18 minutes down on the winner of the day, Lenny Martinez.
Joining Froome at the Dauphine for Israel - Premier Tech will be the likes of fellow experienced head Jakob Fuglsang, star of the 2023 Giro d'Italia Derek Gee, Froome's compatriot Mason Hollyman, former Tour de France stage winner Hugo Houle, two-time Latvian national champion Krists Neilands and former Dauphine stage winner Dylan Teuns.

- He wins the Vuelta because the best don't show up. With how he rides, he's better for the TdF but not good enough for who showsVeganpotter07-05-2025
- True, but unless Tadej or Jonas fall off their bike or get sick, no one is going to beat them. The 2014 Tour was decided by the Shark of Messina long before Contador or Froome were injured. I miss Nibali.awp07-05-2025

- "I think they forgot last year, and when Jonas was injured," and I think you forgot 2023 L-B-L, when Tadej was injured and had to improvise a training without bike. Tadej only could riding a "normal" bike again only 2 weeks before the Tour. That TT he couldn't knowing well at all.
maria2024202407-05-2025 - It's unfortunate a rider of his caliber hasn't won the Tour de France and I can't fault him for trying, in fact, I respect it. But he never will win the Tour as long as Tadej and Jonas are in the peloton, and we might as well add Remco to that list as he is the youngest and seems to be coming up quickly behind Tadej and Jonas. I hope Primoz can capture another Giro and maybe another Vuelta before he calls it a day.awp07-05-2025
- "He breaks the conventions we once held", yeah, Tadej es disruptive, unique. Perhaps because he doesn't come from a family/country with tradition in cycling, so the "laws" of cycling were unknown to him and he was just looking/seeking to have fun. Traditions are beautiful but sometimes can be limiting.maria2024202407-05-2025

- "The Giro d'Italia 2024 saw a strong increase in audience figures across RAI networks, especially on Rai2 and RaiSport HD. The race also experienced a significant boost in online engagement, with record numbers of website visitors, video views, and media articles. The event reached over 700 million viewers worldwide...."

- It's always the way in pro cycling - 1 rider wins and the rest,instead of working with each other to topple the better rider, they ride behind said rider collecting scraps that're left...
