Chris Froome confirmed on ‘TikTok’ that last Sunday, on his way home to Monte Carlo after his daily training, he had an accident with a car that opened the door as he passed by on his bike.
“Yesterday I went out for a walk and before I got home, 500 meters from the door, I was beaten. As I passed, someone opened a door in front of me from the line of parked cars. I’m a meter away, I don’t have time to brake. I hit the door and flew out,” said the Israel-Premier Tech cyclist.
The winner of 4 Tours de France, a Giro d’Italia and two-time Vuelta España winner said his “elbow was shattered” after the impact, confirming that he had bruises and scratches on both elbow and hip due to fall.
In this sense, Froome took the opportunity to call on all drivers to open the car door from the inside with the hand farthest from the handle to turn the body and open the door after making sure that no one is coming from the road. .
“It’s very useful and it causes less pain for us riders and it’s a very simple thing for you to do,” Froome concluded.
