Four-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome has returned home from the hospital, eight days after sustaining several injuries in a serious training crash.
Froome announced that his stay at the HIA Sainte Anne in Toulon had come to a relieving end via his social media on Friday, alongside a picture of him holding hands with his daughter.
His wife, Michelle, later revealed to The Times that, during surgery, the doctors in France also discovered that Froome had suffered a life-threatening injury to his heart and had actually torn the sac that surrounds the heart – the pericardium – as a result of the impact during the crash.
Froome is one of the most decorated riders of all time and dominated GC fields throughout the 2010s, notching up four yellow jersey wins at the Tour de France, two overall titles at the Vuelta a España and a completed Grand Tour set with victory at the 2018 Giro d’Italia.
