Froome sustained severe injuries, including four broken ribs, a broken spine, and a collapsed lung. The most dangerous was the rupture of the pericardium—the membrane protecting the heart.

Currently, the 40-year-old athlete is sharing the process of his recovery. In a photo published on his Instagram, he is seen maintaining a positive mood during rehabilitation.

A few scars remain visible one and a half months after the injury.

Froome commented on his situation during his hospital discharge last month, saying:

“Relieved to be heading home from the hospital today.” He thanked the medical staff at HIA Sainte Anne hospital.

The cyclist was taken to a military hospital in Toulon after hitting a curb at 30 miles per hour and colliding with a road sign. His injuries will require a long break from cycling.

The Buzz from the Charity Event

However, Chris is not at all disheartened by these events. He appeared in public just a few weeks after his discharge at a charity evening in Zurich. Alongside him on stage were sports legends Usain Bolt, Anthony Joshua, and Mika Hakkinen.

Froome commented:

“I think this was a motivation for me to try and push in terms of the rehab and getting out of hospital in Time to be ready for this event because it sounds like its going to be an amazing evening.” New photographs indicate that the rehabilitation process is just beginning, but fans can be glad that their favorite athlete is not letting injuries stop him.
