Chris Froome has left hospital after his horrific crash in France, but is not yet able to go home.
The four-time Tour de France champion has been in hospital in Saint-Etienne for over a week following a lengthy operation to correct multiple serious injuries suffered in a 55kmph collision.
The 34-year-old crashed towards the end of a reconnaissance route of stage four of the Criterium du Dauphine, and sustained fractures to his vertebrae, right femur, elbow and ribs.
He was put in intensive care after the operation and has updated fans on his recovery on Twitter.
