Chris Froome's season is not yet over! These are his plans between now and the end of the 2024 campaign
Cycling
It's been almost two months since we last saw Chris Froome on a bike and, according to information from cycling website Velo, he plans to wear his bib in two races in October: the Tour of Hainan (October 5-9) and the Japan Cup (October 15).
Froome's journey with the Israel-Premier Tech team this season has been marked by ups and downs and challenges. The British cyclist, recognized as one of the greatest cyclists of all time, has raced just 32 days in his team's jersey this campaign. His season began in January with his participation in the Tour Down Under, and throughout the year he has been present in several races, both one-day and stage races, including the Tour de Romandie and La Route d'Occitanie.
However, the results were poor and the rider was not selected to participate in the Tour de France. Faced with this news, Froome expressed his disappointment, stating, "I'm disappointed, of course. The Tour de France is a race that I value a lot. I was physically prepared for it, but unfortunately, I couldn't show my full potential in the last few races due to failures in the team."
Following this sporting disappointment, Chris Froome made just one more appearance at the Tour of the Czech Republic (July 27-30), though unfortunately he was unable to complete the race. Since then, news surrounding Froome had remained quiet, but the cyclist still has plans to close out his season in the Far East.
First, Froome will line up at the start of the Tour of Hainan, before ending his competition campaign at the Japan Cup.
As for his future, it is worth noting that the multi-million dollar contract that linked Chris Froome to the Israel-Premier Tech team is in its final season, but the Briton has no intention of retiring for the time being. In previous statements, Froome has expressed his desire to continue racing into his 40s.
Sylvan Adams, the head of the Israel-Premier Tech team, shared his personal commitment to Froome's future in cycling, stating that he "will retire as part of Israel-Premier Tech." We'll see...

parisbound0008-11-2026 - there needs to be space in life for pointless comments!Ketterechts08-11-2026
- That is a very lazy way of putting it but so far on this website it seems like everyone is happy to look at everything lazily, even things that annoy them intensely. All they want to do is state their feeling and position but ask most to analyse a problem or come up with solutions or improvements and you’re stunned by silence. Nobody even really knows how this all happens. It’s very simple and quick to just say the UCI did it but I bet you they didn’t, I bet you not more than 2 people were involved, more likely just 1. The UCI may be ultimately responsible but it is not their decision, this is about hierarchy, power and delegation. The fact that protest is possible also means it isn’t over and that MORE people could get involved for a thorough review which could throw up anything. It is highly likely it was a sole commissar who decided and has that power in a first round. Therein might lie the problem the UCI has to consider, is it acceptable to give so much authority to one single person when it is quite possible for them to have a natural bias or be too easily susceptible to imposed bias. Who is to say an individual in this position isn’t susceptible to collaboration with outside players with interests in the results, nations, families, teams, betting companies, etc. On the one hand we have sports where these problems have been worked on way more to reduce such problems, on the other hand we have sports with far stricter and more draconian rules not even concerning safety or obstruction that nobody really questions like false starts or stepping out of lane or zones in athletics. If cycling hastowork on itself, it would be good if protagonists (all kinds) would start doing a little more than just moaning over outcomes.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- Yes, so why not make comments less pointless?Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- What a race! I didn't expect Vanthourenhout to collapse like that, and Wyseure did take the fight to Nys, but there was no doubt at the end. I also wonder what Aubin Sparfel would be capable of were he to race in the elites now. In the U23 ranks he is making good work of Giel Lejeune, who himself is among the better riders in the elites, and a top 10 contender in the big races (3rd at Kleebergcross, 8th at Berencross and 5th at Heerderstrand). In the French Cup, Sparfel is significantly better than Romain Debord (8th at Koppenbergcross and 10th at the Euros) and Rémi Lelandais (12th at Koppenbergcross and 19th at the Euros).
Rafionain-Glas08-11-2026 - There really was nothing in it. Schreiber was so much faster, and Brand was fighting to stay in the wheel in the sprint. Schreiber did move a bit, but to say she closed the door doesn't make sense because Brand couldn't enter it anyway, abd she wasn't impeded.Rafionain-Glas08-11-2026
- He should have been allowed to go to Movistar. Right now both arent a good fit for each other and are just wasting each other's time and effortabstractengineer08-11-2026
