Chris Froome has suffered multiple injuries in a crash in southern France.

The four times Tour Du France winner was taken to hospital on Wednesday afternoon by helicopter following a crash near Toulon

The crash was serious as Froome has five broken ribs, a collapsed lung and a lumbar vertebrae fracture.

French newspaper L'Equipe reported that Froome was conscious on arrival and was able to speak to medical staff.

He Had surgery on his back on today

He earned the first of his four Tour de France titles in 2013, winning it three years in a row between 2015 and 2017.

This is probably the last season for 40 year old Froome.

Hopefully he recovers well and finally sees that his best days are long behind him. Maybe he will see sense and use some of the cash he's been hoovering up for the last few years to open the Cycling Academy in Africa he's been talking about for a long time.
