After a dismal start to 2019, which saw him spend time in hospital with a torn spleen, Ben Swift says that he's enjoyed one of his most consistent years yet following his return from a late February crash.

The Briton, who rejoined Team Ineos this season after two years at UAE Team Emirates, spent a week in hospital after the training crash early in the year, and didn't ride again for over two months.
