Cycling-Froome says critics calling for his retirement spur him on

Chris Froome said he laughs off suggestions from critics that he should retire and believes he is slowly getting back to his best after multiple injuries suffered in a crash two years ago.

Froome spent more than three weeks in hospital after breaking his neck, femur, elbow, hip and ribs in a high-speed crash in the 2019 Criterium du Dauphine but the Briton has made a full recovery.The four-times Tour de France champion, who left Ineos-Grenadiers for Israel-Start Up Nation during the close season, came 81st overall in the Tour of Catalunya in March and some social media users said he should end his career.

"They don't know how far I have come to get back to professional racing. They clearly don't know me as a person - I'm not just going to hang it up. I know I can get there." "Even though I haven't been showing much up front, I feel the intensity of being in the peloton is helping me. Being in the wheels... is beginning to feel a bit easier," Froome said.
