Airlifted to hospital.

Conscious and able to speak to medical staff.

Scans showed Froome has five broken ribs, a collapsed lung and a lumbar vertebrae fracture.

Yes sounds serlous.  It's hard to see him riding anywhere near elite level now.  Not sure how much IPT contract he has left ?

From the article:

The Israel-Premier Tech rider, who is out of contract at the end of the year, is expected to miss the remainder of the season with his injuries..

Froome has previously suggested that 2025 could be his final year of competitive racing

His final year of competitive racing was some time ago!

It felt inevitable from early on. His rare ability to sustain a competition-destroying output was inversely proportionate to his ability to stay upright.
