Chris Froome wins his first race since 2018 Giro d'Italia - Briton wins Granfondo in Taiwan
CyclingTuesday, 03 December 2024 at 22:20
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.

- Similar was said about Paris Roubaix though so I'd say its very much possible if he feels good as Pogi said himself many times, he wants to race any race he can win while he can win as has no idea when he'll be 'old news'HoopoeChai18-07-2025

- Seems that the Visma Plan of ‘22 didn’t work out this year, with Narváez still there at the end for Pogacar for UAE. The 11 days of pushing Pogacar had the effect of tiring the wrong team.RidesHills17-07-2025

- Crickets today on Healy's interference yesterday; like it never happened. I don't care and will continue to voice my opinion. Tadej can thank Healy for his win today. If Healy had let Stage 11 play itself out, without his interference, we would have had a true and honest Stage 11 outcome which would have drastically effected today's results. Jonas would still have a fighting chance. Things need to change going forward!parisbound0017-07-2025
- Visma put the pace for Tadej. After 12 stages only saw Nills and Almeida working for UAE. Today we had a glimpse of Narvaez. The team is rested.

He's Back! Look out Pogacar. :P
Embarrassing, lol
Not as much as not winning ;-)
To me, it’s a sign of why he has persisted. For all the critique that he gets, he was THE dominant GT rider for years, one of less than an handful to have all the major GT jerseys at the same time (and the only in the modern era). People remember him and honor him even in the fake criterium world. If I were him, I’d also have a hard time stepping back from that, especially when that stupid injury was so very very unfortunate. Short version: If people come to cheer him on, and cycling is a business, should he not be there?
