His team said that “there were no other cyclists or vehicles involved.”
The first victory of the Tour of France in Froome occurred in 2013. Then he won three consecutive after losing in 2014, becoming the first person to defend the title from Lance Armstrong before his seven victories were stripped.

His last victory was the D’Italia turn in 2018. He also won the Spanish Vuelta twice, in 2011 and 2017, pointing to his four wins on the tour, the first in 2013 followed by a 2015-17 titulous hat Trick.
Froome, 40, never returned to his best previous level after a training accident at the Critérium du Dauphiné 2019, an event he used to adjust his commitment to a fifth title of the Equal Condition tour. In the accident, he broke his femur, the elbow and the right ribs.

Froome has been signed with Israel-Mier Tech since 2021, but with the contract soon expired, combined with this accident, his career could be in danger.
