While on a practice ride with Team INEOS colleagues during the Criterium du Dauphine in June, Froome smashed into a wall around 35mph and was forced to miss a shot at a fifth Tour de France title.
He is now back in full training just three months after the accident, with his sights set on competing at the Saitama Criterium in Japan on October 27 alongside Ineos team-mate Egan Bernal.

According to Team Ineos boss Sir Dave Brailsford, Froome took his hands off his bars to blow his nose and lost control of his bike, colliding with a wall at 40mph.
The Briton was airlifted to hospital in St Etienne where he underwent emergency surgery.
While he sat out the Toure, it was retained by Team INEOS through Bernal.
