Overview

• The four-time Tour de France winner attended the Pho3nix Foundation Sport With Purpose Charity Gala in Zurich on September 20, appearing in good spirits on stage alongside Usain Bolt, Anthony Joshua and Mika Häkkinen.
• Froome said the gala motivated him to push his rehabilitation so he could leave hospital in time to attend, calling it an event he did not want to miss.
• He was airlifted to a specialist trauma hospital after an August training crash in the south of France, where surgeons repaired a pericardial rupture and treated a pneumothorax, five broken ribs and a fractured lumbar vertebra.
• Israel–Premier Tech confirmed his surgeries were successful, and Froome was discharged on September 5, later sharing a photo leaving HIA Sainte Anne and thanking medical staff.
• Decisions on his racing future remain on hold, with reports noting uncertainty about a return and his Israel–Premier Tech contract due to expire at year’s end.
