Welsh cyclist, Olympic and Tour winner
Froome has confirmed retirement after a career defined by four Tour de France titles and Grand Tour success, with a dramatic crash in 2019 and subsequent struggles ending his competitive career following injuries sustained in August 2025. He leaves as one of cycling’s most decorated riders, with seven Grand Tours won.
Richard Carapaz seals his second stage win in three days, moving to the top of the King of the Mountains as the Tour enters its final mountain stretch. Remco Evenepoel maintains the race lead despite a testing day for UAE, while Pogacar’s position comes under renewed scrutiny as illness and crashes ripple through teams.
Emma Finucane has won sprint gold at the Commonwealth Games, while Wales teammates added to their tally in Glasgow. She defeated Ellesse Andrews and Sophie Capewell en route, and eyes a potential keirin and kilo podium in the coming events.
