Froome has had a bad training crash

[Dogtrousers]

I saw the headline that he'd hit a road sign at 30 mph. Clipping a kerb first gives it a bit or context but serous wtf. Very unlucky to have one really bd training smash but 2 looks very careless.

Wishing him a full recovery and a less incident prone retirement.

Well, not wanting to kick someone while they're down, but he was never famous for his Sagan-like bike handling skills. Remember the time when the very thought of a cobbled sector ahead caused him to fall off and break his wrist?

Was that after he took out an organiser after rolling off the TT start ramp?

I was going to link a video of it here, but there seem to be too many results when searching for keywords including 'froome' and 'crash'!

I think you're all referring to him trying to ride a soaking wet cobbles stage with a broken wrist. So you're being a little unfair on him with this one.

He left hospital today - looking remarkably OK:

Blimey, out already. I had nearly 7 weeks in hospital and 7 months off work. No TLSO brace either !

You were lucky to survive that!!

That is the kind of thing that is often on my mind when I am out on my bike. I worry about some distracted idiot accidentally hitting me. I also worry about a psycho doing it deliberately!

Tell.me about it

Crocs not in sports mode: he's retiring.

Great to see him up and about so soon
