Chris Froome has revealed that he hopes to remain in the sport for another "eight or nine years".

Last month, Froome claimed his second Tour de France crown in three years, and the Team Sky rider believes that he is capable of another five titles providing that he is able to continue racing into his late 30s.

The 30-year-old told BBC Sport: "I'd love to keep racing until my late 30s, for as long as my body will allow me to. I'd like to think I could go back again for the foreseeable future, four or five years at least.

"I'm 30, other riders have won Tours into their late 30s, potentially I've got another eight or nine years left in me."

Froome won this year's race by 72 seconds, with Movistar's Nairo Quintana his closest challenger.
