Speaking on his Facebook page whilst recovering at home, Luke Rowe (Team Sky) detailed the injuries sustained whilst on a white water rafting trip at his brother's stag party.
The 27-year-old road captain helped Chris Froome to his fourth Tour de France last month, finishing the race in last place and being awarded with the lanterne rouge. Rowe, with a large cast around his leg, described a litany of injuries."[A] tibia, fibula, five metatarsals and a bit in between. It's pretty bad; I don't do things by halves. It's a mess, but we'll get there.
"The team has been top draw; they flew a doctor straight out to me and then got me back to Cardiff. I've got a long road ahead with rehab, a lot of time in the gym and with the physios."

Rowe had a strong start of the year, winning a stage at the Herald Sun Tour in January, before a top-10 at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and a podium finish at Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne. However, he is now likely to miss the entire 2018 Classics campaign and season openers but could feature towards the latter part of the year.
"The goal is to get racing next year for sure," he explained. "The start of the season will be tough, but mid or end of the season, I'll be back on the bike."
