Chris Froome (Team Ineos) has returned to the bike, riding on home roads in the south of France on Sunday afternoon. The four-time Tour de France winner posted a selfie to Twitter, adding that he felt "good to be back on the road again."

It's the first time that Froome has ridden on the road since his brutal crash at the Critérium du Dauphiné. The Briton was riding a time trial recon at the June race when he lost control on a descent, hitting a wall and suffering multiple, career-threatening injuries.
