Chris Froome sees Tour de France hopes boosted as Israel - Premier Tech announce lineup for 2024 Critérium du Dauphiné
Cycling
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.

- I think Tadej will be working on his new C7 TT position for the Tour de France :-)frieders304-11-2026
- Every great cyclist has at least two Giro/Tour doubles, and in modern cycling or what we call modern cycling, Miguel Indurain is the only guy to do it twice. I think Tadej should go for it and commit if he is putting up good numbers somewhere around January/February.awp04-11-2026
- the 6th TDF is a more record breaking opportunity than a 2nd Giro. Jonas can double up. For Remco its TDF. For Sexias it will be a good opportunity but as usual TDF will be his main goal For del Toro, yes good opportunityabstractengineer04-11-2026

- This is a phenomenal course design. I do wish that they'd stretch these tours for the women to at least 2 weeks.RidesHills03-11-2026
- This is an amazing route, honestly. Let's hope that it attracts riders to make it a compelling and competitive race. Side bar amusement: going to Slovenia and passing pretty close to Pogačar's house. I wonder if they were tempting him to get all 3 jerseys at once after winning the Tour and Vuelta. After all, only a very few have ever had all three at the same time (Froome being the last).RidesHills03-11-2026
