The four-time Tour de France winner suffered serious injuries after colliding with a wall during a practice run before stage four of the Criterium du Dauphine in Roanne, France on Wednesday. Froome has since been in intensive care after undergoing successful operations to fix his injuries, which included a broken hip, femur, and fractured ribs. Froome was travelling at over 50km an hour when the crash occurred. Rowe suffered her own serious injury problems after a crash in 2014 left her with broken ribs and a collapsed lung. "There's been some horrific injuries from this crash, but knowing Chris' kind of mental strength and determination, he will definitely be back, I'm sure."
