Tom Cary

Chris Froome describes surviving a severe training crash in which his rib cage collapsed, puncturing his pericardium and collapsing a lung. He was airlifted to a military hospital in Toulon for emergency surgery, with doctors later telling him such injuries are rarely survivable. The ordeal led him to reflect on family and his future, contributing to his retirement after his contract with Israel-Premier Tech ended. The crash required multiple surgeries and months of treatment, marking the end of his efforts to regain former racing form after a previous major accident in 2019.
