Chris Froome is back to racing at 100 percent, the four-time Tour de France winner confirmed. He will ride 'The Migration' MTB event in September.
What's Next for Chris Froome?
Froome made his 2022 debut at Coppi e Bartali in March and will head to the Tour of the Alps later this month.
The Israel-Premier Tech leader discussed his potential racing schedule, including the Tour de France and Vuelta a Espana.
He also confirmed his participation in 'The Migration', a multi-day off-road event in South Africa's Kruger National Park.
The Road to Recovery
Froome spent most of 2019 and 2020 battling back from serious injuries sustained in a crash at the 2019 Criterium du Dauphine.
He was forced to delay his start to the 2022 season due to a knee injury, but after a block of training and racing, he thinks he can build up for the rest of the season without any hurdles.
Mixing it Up with Migration MTB
The Migration event will bring participants face to face with local wildlife in an incredible backdrop, raising funds for conservation and anti-poaching programs.
Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen and 1995 Springbok Rugby World Cup-winning captain Francois Pienaar are also taking part in the event.
Froome admitted that for the first time since his horrific crash at the 2019 Criterium du Dauphine, he was injury and illness-free.
He told VeloNews: 'I've no issues now. No niggles, no pains, and nothing holding me back.'
The Tour of Alps will test Froome's improving form, but the rest of his road calendar has yet to be decided.
Much will depend on how his body responds to his next race and whether the rider and his coaching team believe that another block of training or a trip to the Tour of Romandie is the ideal test.
Froome said of his schedule: 'Potentially Romandie. I don't know my program yet and we're taking it race by race at the moment.'
So much depends on where he gets to in the next month or so and if it all goes to plan.
And with his health back on track, Froome is ready to take on the challenges ahead.
The 36-year-old is focused on getting back up to speed and making the most of his racing schedule.
He will continue to work hard and make the necessary sacrifices to achieve his goals.
Froome's participation in 'The Migration' MTB event is a testament to his dedication and passion for cycling.
He is excited to take part in the event and raise funds for a good cause.
The event will take place in September, and Froome is looking forward to the challenge.
With his injury-free status and strong recovery, Chris Froome is ready to make a comeback in the world of road cycling.
