Chris Froome wins his first race since 2018 Giro d'Italia - Briton wins Granfondo in Taiwan
Cycling
Chris Froome and Mark Cavendish have spent time in Miami and have recently made the trip to Taiwan. During his short trip to the Asian nation, he has participated in a Granfondo where he took the win - the first time he's won a race in over six years.
Of course it does not compare to a pro win, a goal he is still seeking entering what may be the final goal of his season, but Froome was able to raise his arms at the end of the Gran Fondo Sun Moon Lake at the end of the 104 mountainous kilometers.

- Same thing with ASSOS there was a fraudulent site in US, so I contacted ASSOS it’s down now. I don’t like counterfeiters or they bunk products. Call me old fashioned, it’s called honest.JtotheB07-01-2025
- Good on him for saying so; there's more to pro cycling than the Tour. The XCO World title is one still missing, so why not target that? However, Crans-Montana is really technical, and he will need plenty of time training and racing back on the MTB if he's going to go close. We know what happens with poor prep - crashes. This isn't CX, where you can turn up and win - the top MTB riders have got skills and MTB isn't just about watts......wipperman9507-01-2025
- Referring to his past few years he tried or had to be in top shape 10 out of 12 months, with some pretty annoying injuries, how many others manage(d) that? You have a right to be greedy but he’s not racing for you so is there much point in asking expecting hoping, it’s like writing to a potential doper saying please don’t.Jumpyjohn07-01-2025
- he can do what he wants, and if he can state his feelings, so can I. and my feeling is, it is fun to see the best riders in the biggest race. there are always stages to go after. and racing is more fun with an MVDP to cheer for. and to the point of the other guy, he raced 7 races prior. he will do 11 or so cross races. yes he races to win, but as a fan I would really love to see him in the race. I'm being greedy admittedly. to the point of vappaxbipmv, he isn't exactly racing his legs off with the races he has been doing.mij07-01-2025
- Well not his last year, but my argument is he can't he win the Tour. Remember this thread during the upcoming Tour, btw, I do admire Primoz.awp07-01-2025
- He did a convincing display at Ancares doing peak numbers even without optimal preparation in a team that is weaker in grand tours. Sure he's getting older but the narrative that he's in his last year is ridiculous.alsene07-01-2025
