Chris Froome in surgery to repair fractures from Dauphine crash
(Cyclingnews.com)
 


Chris Froome (Team Ineos) is undergoing surgery to repair fractures he suffered in a crash during reconnaissance of the Criterium du Dauphine`s stage 4 time trial route.  A message posted on the four-time Tour de France winner`s official Twitter account said Froome was undergoing surgery `to repair the multiple fractures`, asking readers to keep Froome in their thoughts and saying they hoped to share more information on Thursday. Froome was previewing the stage 4 time trial course in Roanne on Wednesday with teammate Wout Poels when he apparently took his hands off the bars to clear his nose on a 60kph descent, and a gust of wind took out his front wheel, according to Team Ineos Principal Dave Brailsford.ADVERTISEMENT Team Ineos confirmed Wednesday evening that Froome suffered a fractured femur in the crash. In addition to the broken leg, Froome also fractured his elbow and ribs in the wreck, effectively ending his hopes of adding a record-tying fifth Tour de France title in July. In a statement released by the team previously, Brailsford said the team would turn their focus to Froome`s future as he readjusts his goals. `Our primary focus now is obviously on ensuring Chris gets the very best possible care, which he will do, so he can recover as soon as possible,` Brailsford said. `Even though we all recognise the risks involved in our sport, it`s always traumatic when a rider crashes and sustains serious injuries.` - Chris Froome (@chrisfroome) June 12, 2019 You can read more at Cyclingnews.com
