At the 2012 Tour de France, riding as a domestique for Bradley Wiggins, Froome won stage seven and finished second overall, behind only Wiggins' win in the same race as the best British performance in the race's history. In the same year he also won the bronze medal in the time trial event at the Olympic Games and finished fourth in the Vuelta a España. His first stage race win came in 2013, in the Tour of Oman, followed by wins in the Critérium International, the Tour de Romandie, the Critérium du Dauphiné and the Tour de France.

Early life and amateur career

Froome was born on 20 May 1985 in Nairobi, Kenya,[6] to Kenyan-born mother Jane and father Clive, a former hockey player who represented England at under-19 level.[7] His mother's British parents emigrated from Tetbury, Gloucestershire, England to Kenya to run a crop farm.[3][8][9] Froome has two older brothers, Jonathan and Jeremy, who went to Rugby School in Warwickshire, England.[7] At the age of 12, his mother took him to his first organised bike race, where he met professional cyclist David Kinjah, who became Froome's mentor. They trained together, mountain biking in the rural highlands north of Nairobi.[7][10][11]

After finishing primary school at the Banda School in Nairobi,[12] Froome moved to South Africa as a 14-year-old to attend St John's College in Johannesburg.[11][13][14] He then studied economics for two years at the University of Johannesburg.[15][16][17] It was in South Africa that Froome started to participate in road cycling. It was not until he was 22 that he turned professional.[15] Froome started road racing in South Africa, specialising as a climber.[18] Whilst representing Kenya at the 2006 Road World Championships in the under-23 category in Salzburg, Austria, Froome crashed into an official just after the start of the time trial,[2] causing both men to fall; although neither was injured,[19] he finished in 36th place.[20]

Professional career

2007–2010: Early years

Froome turned professional in 2007, aged 22, with the South African team, Konica Minolta, withdrawing from university two years into his degree in economics.[21] He competed from April to September for the Union Cycliste Internationale's World Cycling Centre (WCC) team based in Aigle, Switzerland, in the U23 Nations Cup.[22] In May he rode his first stage race, the Giro delle Regioni, winning stage five, riding for WCC.[21][23] In late-May he won stage six of the Tour of Japan, attacking from a breakaway in the 14 lap circuit in Shuzenji.[24] In June he competed at the "B" world championships in Cape Town, placing second to China's Haijun Ma in the 26.8 km (16.7 mi)-long time trial.[25][26] In July he claimed a bronze medal in the road race at the All-Africa Games in Algiers, Algeria.[27] On 26 September, he placed 41st in the under-23 time trial at the world championships in Stuttgart, three minutes and 30 seconds behind the gold medalist, Lars Boom (Netherlands).[28]

2011: Breakthrough

Froome and Juan José Cobo, on stage 19 of the 2011 Vuelta a España.

The early highlights of Froome's 2011 season were top 15 finishes in the Vuelta a Castilla y León and the Tour de Romandie. Froome had a mixed Tour de Suisse, riding with the lead group on some mountain stages, whilst losing time on others, and finishing ninth in the final time trial.[42]

Froome entered the Vuelta a España as the main domestique for Bradley Wiggins in the mountains. After being inseparable from Wiggins throughout the first week, he gained credit for his ride in stage nine, helping close down an attack on the final climb and finishing in fifth place, three seconds behind Wiggins, leaving both in the top 20 overall.[43] The following day in stage ten, however, Froome out-rode Wiggins to finish second in the time-trial behind You have called {{Contentious topics}}.

Froome proved stronger than Wiggins, finishing ahead of him in fourth place but 48 seconds behind Cobo, to retain second overall.[47]

On stage 17, Froome attacked Cobo 1 km (0.6 mi) from the summit finish, but Cobo fought back, catching Froome in the final 300 metres, only for Froome to attack again to win the stage and arrive one second in front of Cobo.[48] As a result of time bonuses, Froome reduced Cobo's lead to 13 seconds. Froome was unable to reduce Cobo's lead any further and finished second overall in the Vuelta, equalling Robert Millar's second places in the 1985 and 1986 editions of the Vuelta and the 1987 Giro d'Italia, as the best finish by a British rider in the Vuelta and the highest finish by a British rider in a Grand Tour.[49]

There was an inconsistency about him. The question wasn’t why he was good, the question was why we’d only seeing glimpses. Why isn’t he like that all the time? When the illness was discovered, retrospectively, it made a lot of sense."

David Brailsford on Froome's bilharzia infection.[50]

After the Vuelta it was revealed Froome had suffered throughout the year from the parasitic disease bilharzia (schistosomiasis), having been diagnosed in 2010.[51] It has since been speculated that Froome may have had the parasitic infection for much of his adult life and during his early cycling career.[7][52] The discovery and subsequent treatment of the illness has been used to explain Froome's rapid rise to form during 2011.[13][50] On 16 September 2011, Froome signed a new three-year contract with Sky.[53] He was part of the Great Britain team that helped Mark Cavendish win the world road race championship.[54] In October, Froome finished third overall in the first edition of the Tour of Beijing, 26 seconds behind overall winner, Tony Martin.[55]

2012: Super-domestique

The early part of Froome's 2012 season was wrecked by illness. He withdrew from the Volta ao Algarve with a severe chest infection, and blood tests showed his bilharzia parasites had returned.[51][56] In March, Froome was involved in a collision with a 72-year-old pedestrian on a training ride.[57] He returned to racing in May, for the Tour de Romandie, where he helped Wiggins win the race overall,[58] before participating in a training camp on a volcano in Tenerife with several of his team-mates.[59]

On stage 11 to La Toussuire, Froome rolled all day in the mountains in front of the pack or near it, setting the pace for his leader Wiggins but was forced to take two rests during the flatter, faster sections, dropping in behind Wiggins' group leaving Wiggins out in front. Froome recovered well however and in a surprising event, due to what appear to be confused team orders, he attacked the remaining group on the last climb, just as Wiggins was easing off after the hard chase to catch Nibali 4 km (2.5 mi) away from the finish line. He subsequently received the order from his team manager to hold back and wait for yellow jersey Wiggins. He finished third of the stage after a late burst of speed.[66] For his efforts in assisting Wiggins, Froome was lauded in the media as a super-domestique.[67] On stage 17, Froome and Wiggins finished second and third respectively on the final mountain stage to further cement their general classification positions,[68] although Froome repeatedly waited for Wiggins on the final climb, costing him the chance of winning the stage.[69] On stage 19, a time trial, Froome finished second to Wiggins, mirroring the overall standings.[70] Wiggins went on to win the tour with Froome second, becoming the first two British riders to make the podium of the Tour de France in its 109-year history.[71]

Froome won stage 15 finishing on Mont Ventoux. Kennaugh and Porte dropped all of the leading contenders except Contador on the early part of the climb, before Froome surged clear of Contador with 7 km (4.3 mi) remaining and caught Quintana, who had attacked earlier in the climb. The pair worked together to put time into their rivals, before Froome dropped Quintana with 1.2 km (0.7 mi) remaining and soloed to the finish. This gave Froome a lead of four minutes and 14 seconds over Mollema in second place, with Contador a further 11 seconds back. Froome also regained the lead in the mountains classification.[102][103] He won the stage 17 time trial, finishing the 32 km (20 mi) course from Embrun to Chorges in 51 minutes 33 seconds, with Contador coming in nine seconds behind him, in second place.[104] Froome defended his lead during the Alpine stages, extending his overall league as Mollema and Contador dropped back.[105]

Froome won the general classification on 21 July with a final time of 83 hours, 56 minutes and 40 seconds, four minutes and 20 seconds ahead of second-placed Quintana. He was also King of the Mountains for six stages, however he ultimately finished second to Quintana in that classification.[106] Froome's overall win and stage victories in the Tour win put him at the top of the UCI World Tour ranking, with 587, ahead of Sagan on 409.[107] Partly because the 2013 Tour was the first since Lance Armstrong's admission of doping, such questions were asked of Froome. He insisted that he and his team were clean and stated that the questioning saddened him.[108] Froome was drug tested 19 times during the Tour[106] and Team Sky principal Dave Brailsford offered the World Anti-Doping Agency all performance data they had on Froome as evidence.[109]

In October Froome was named winner of the prestigious Vélo d'Or award for the best rider of the year.[110]

Personal life

Froome met Welsh-born South African Michelle Cound in 2009, through South African rider Daryl Impey. In 2011 they moved to Monaco together and she became his fiancée in March 2013.[111][112] Froome dedicated his Tour de France win to his mother, who died of cancer five weeks before his Tour debut in 2008.[30][106]
