  • He has won several stage races, including four editions of the Tour de France (in 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017), the Giro d'Italia in 2018 and the Vuelta a España twice (2011 and 2017).
  • Froome has also won two Olympic bronze medals in road time trials, in 2012 and 2016, and also took bronze in the 2017 World Championships. Froome was born in Kenya to British parents and grew up there and in South Africa.
  • Since 2011 he's been a resident in Monaco.
  • At the age of 22, Froome turned professional with Team Konica Minolta.
  • In 2008, he joined the team Barloworld.
  • The same year he moved to Italy and started to ride under a British licence.
  • In 2010, he moved to Team Sky and has since become one of the team's key cyclists.
  • Froome made his breakthrough as a Grand Tour contender during the 2011 Vuelta a España where he finished second overall, later promoted to first.
  • At the 2012 Tour de France, riding as a super-domestique for Bradley Wiggins, Froome won stage seven and finished second overall, behind Wiggins. His first recognised multi-stage race win came in 2013, in the Tour of Oman, followed by wins in the Critérium International, the Tour de Romandie, the Critérium du Dauphiné, and the Tour de France.

  • In 2015, he won his second Critérium du Dauphiné and his second Tour de France.
  • He won a third Tour de France in 2016 and became the first man since Miguel Indurain in 1995 to successfully defend his title.
  • He won his fourth Tour de France in 2017, followed by successive wins at the 2017 Vuelta a España and the 2018 Giro d'Italia, his first victories in both races.
  • These achievements made him the first cyclist to win the Tour–Vuelta double since the Vuelta was moved to September, and the first to hold all three Grand Tour winners' jerseys at the same time since Bernard Hinault in 1983.
