Chris Froome was born in Nairobi to British parents. He was educated and raised in South Africa and now races for Team GB and Team Sky. He is undoubtedly the finest Grand Tour cyclist of his generation and is the first man since Bernad Hinault to hold all three Grand Tours at the same time. His escape on the Colle delle Finestre during Stage 19 of the 2018 Giro D'Italia, that secured him the Maglia Rosa, was roundly considered one of the most daring attacks in modern cycling history.
