British cyclist competing across cyclo-cross, mountain bike and road
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.
Søren Waerenskjf8ld has won stage 11 in a sprint into Nevers, edging Olav Kooij and Milan Fretin as Pogacar extends his overall lead. The race featured a chaotic sprint, crashes, and radio problems for several riders, while Uno-X Mobility's Waerenskjjold claims a landmark victory.
On stage 13 of the Tour de France, Tom Pidcock finishes third after a late breakaway, earning four bonus seconds and climbing to fourth overall. Mauro Schmid wins the stage from Tejada, with Pogacar extending his overall lead as the race heads into the mountains.
Tadej Pogacar has conquered Alpe d’Huez in a record time, reshaping the Tour de France’s mountain standings while breakaway riders pursue stage glory. The race remains intensely competitive as cyclists battle the Cols Bayard and Noyer.
A wave of extreme heat is forcing people to rethink work, commuting and leisure. From London offices to outdoor pools, residents are adapting with new routines and strategies in response to record temperatures this summer.
