The 34-year-old, just like Team Ineos teammate as well as Tour de France champion Egan Bernal, will set up the Japanese season finale Saitama Criterium on October 27.

The bicycle star lost control when a windbreaker grabbed the bike as he rolled down a hill during a workout in French Dauphiné. Froome was traveling at almost 60 km / h straight into a stone wall.

Witness: "He could have died"

- We stood there shocked for probably 20 seconds under silence and had shivers. It could have been much worse. He could have died. Seeing such a thing is very uncomfortable, said cyclist Dan Martin, who was just behind Froome and said the same morning.

Chris Froome woke up after the accident with fractures in the neck, a femur, an elbow, a hip and several ribs. He was operated on for four hours and was expected to be away for at least six months. However, Britten was back in light training in August.
