Former rivals Chris Froome and Alberto Contador have reunited over the past week for a ride in Miami, where they participated as guests in the Best Buddies Challenge. The pair had some epic fights over the years, and between them over the years and between them have won all three grand tours multiple times.

Despite their intense rivalry throughout their careers, the duo have a strong relationship and high levels of respect for one another. Froome wrote on Instagram, “It was great to catch up with the one and only Alberto Contador in Miami.”

Whilst Contador is no longer racing professionally, Froome will still be in the peloton for at least another year. These two stars of the 2010s are two of the best climbers the peloton has ever seen, and both would have been right up their with Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard when they were in their prime.
