"I am going to target a lot more the week-long stage races" - Chris Froome wants to deserve his spot on Tour de France in 2024

Chris Froome confirmed he will keep racing in 2024, and a return to the Tour de France is at the center of his plans. Despite a rough and tumble campaign marked by exclusion from the 2023 Tour squad, the four-time Tour winner said he’s committed to racing next season.

"Even though I am not up there winning like I am used to doing before my crash, but I am still enjoying racing my bike," he told FloBikes. "I have no intentions of stopping." Speaking to FloBikes at the Tour of Hainan in China this weekend, Froome confirmed that he’s going to continue with Israel Premier Tech for at least the 2024 season.

"It’s been a difficult season for me this year," Froome said from China. "Obviously having worked hard to try to get into the Tour and missing out on a that. I had to reset a little bit and go back to the drawing board on a few things."

"I am going to target a lot more the week-long stage races. Maybe stay away from some of the one-day races," he said. "Some stage races with back-to-back mountain stages would be a good test for me and see where I am for the Tour."
