Froome and Cavendish on romantic outing in Miami: "Nothing better than a sunset cruise with someone special"

Alberto Contador and Chris Froome, they fought numerous heroic duels in grand tours during their time. This week, the two standout general classification riders got on their bikes together for a ride in Miami, where they both also participated as guests in the 'Best Buddies Challenge.' Mark Cavendish was also present for the charity ride, and he took the time for a 'romantic' outing with his compatriot.
Froome and Contador provided thrilling battles in the mountain stages of the Tour de France and the Vuelta a España in the past. Both stood on the final podium of the 2014 Vuelta a España, where Contador took the victory.
Although they were fierce competitors during their professional cycling careers, the relationship between the two is friendly. This is evident from their words after their recent ride together. "Great to catch up with the one and only Alberto Contador in Miami," Froome wrote on Instagram. Contador, in turn, felt nostalgic, saying, "Reminiscing on old battles!"
They participated in a charity ride aimed at helping adults with developmental disabilities find employment.
The two kept their ride to nearly forty kilometers, as shown on Contador's Strava. With an average speed of nearly 38 kilometers per hour, they maintained a strong pace. While Contador retired from professional racing seven years ago, Froome shows no signs of stopping, despite his glory days being some years behind him. The four-time Tour de France winner has a contract with Israel-Premier Tech until 2025.
Cav and Froomie enjoy romantic sunset cruise together
Cavendish was also part of the ride in Miami. Afterwards, he and Froomie opted for an outing off the bike. The two British cycling icons went on a sunset cruise off the coast of the American city. Watching the sun set under blankets on the deck — it doesn't get much more romantic than that! "Nothing better than a sunset cruise with someone special," Froome said on Instagram.

- Van Aert is really handsome. He can influence me all day! Ditto for Philipsen. Why do you think many of us love cycling?: to see heroic attempts at climbing mountains at high altitudes or to watch speedsters sprint for the finish line or to watch a human being ride at break neck speed down a tricky descent? No, it's all about their lean physiques and muscular legs. (apologies for objectifying these dedicated and amazing athletes).BarwonHeadsUp25-10-2024
- It is unfortunate that the author can't feel the joy that Pogacar brings to the sport and his fans who are legion and I for one feel lucky to have watched such a memorable performance and historic season From the Strada until yesterday with multiple wins in stages in both tours and beyond dominance in the World's. He is proud to wear the Rainbow stripes, shows his leadership to protect his fellows and is as courteous and sportsman-like as the sport allows. He goes early to not have to respond to each attack as all the rest would make him do it. Any racer who could would do the same. Don't "grow tired" of greatness as it is always fleeting.ccrider13-10-2024
- What load of rubbish. Pog is likely a once in a generation cyclist, the like of which hasn't been seen since 'the Cannibal '. How many people were complaining that Merckx was making racing predictable? I remember this year's World RR as one of the most exciting I've watched. Mainly BECAUSE Pog was the favourite and launched what everyone thought (Pog included) was a suicidal attack with 80km to go. For the next 2 hours, I was on the edge of my seat thinking "this is too much, even for Pog". Maybe Zonnefeld prefers the snooze-fest that is a bunch sprint? Like most people I know, I can't watch two hours of the bunch riding very fast... I wait for the final 5km and watch just the sprint. In any event, most races are won from a sprint or lone break. What difference does it make who makes the lone break? Ultimately, the other contenders will have to figure out a way to beat Pog. Even if that means collaboration between teams. It's going to be an exciting few seasons, until the next Pog arrives on the scene. If this is boring, heaven knows what exciting looks like!Michael513-10-2024
- This is not a gravel race. UCI fail, from the surface they are on to team tactics. In what country was the first "gravel race" in what country is the most popular gravel race? Go with the race model that created the discipline.
Barnes127411-10-2024 - And don't forget he has now won 4 of the big 10 races (Grand tours, Monuments and WC/OG) in one year with a chance to make that 5. (5 has only been done once before)Joostmehrtens05-10-2024
