# Cycling: Four-time Tour de France champion Chris Froome has retired from professional cycling, bringing the curtain down on a glittering career spanning over two decades. He confirmed his retirement ahead of this year’s tour, which begins tomorrow and concludes in Paris on the 26th. The 41-year-old has not raced since sustaining life-threatening injuries in a training crash in France last year. Froome also won two Vuelta a Espana titles, and one Giro d’Italia victory – with Team Sky, later rebranded as Team Ineos.
