Ride with Legends

Let’s introduce you to the Pros that will be riding and coaching at the event.
Chris Froome with a Best Buddies participant
Chris Froome

4-Time Tour de France winner, Chris Froome, is a native of Kenya with British citizenship and is one of the greatest cyclists in history. As the first British rider to officially win a Grand Tour, he is one of just seven cyclists to have won all three Grand Tours (Italy, France and Spain). Despite his two victories in the Vuelta a Espana and a win of the Giro d’Italia, he is best known for four victories in the Tour de France. His ascendance to a fifth win was interrupted by a serious training crash in 2019. Despite a slow and frustrating recovery, Froome showed a return to form placing third on legendary Alpe d’Huez stage in the 2022 Tour.

Cam Wurf

Cam Wurf was labeled the “world’s most versatile elite endurance athlete” by podcaster and wellness guru Rich Roll. A native of Tasmania and longtime ambassador for Best Buddies, Wurf has achieved world-class status in three sports. Having competed in rowing at the 2004 Olympics, Wurf switched to cycling with immediate success. He earned a spot in the UCI World Tour in Europe and completed the Vuelta a España and Giro d’Italia. He then became one of the top triathletes in the world, setting the fastest bike time in two successive editions of Kona. Popular with fans and other riders, Wurf is referred to as the “Chief Motivation Officer” of every team he joins. For that, the INEOS Grenadiers recruited the Australian for both cycling and triathlon. Now 40, Wurf shocked not only pundits but also his fellow riders when he delivered a solid team ride in Paris-Roubaix, finished the grueling “Queen of the Classics”, and then laced up running shoes and ran a half marathon for training.
