Luke Rowe rode a bike on Saturday for the first time since breaking his leg, taking in a short session at the Newport velodrome. The Welshman is determined to make a comeback after suffering multiple fractures in his lower right leg but admits he is likely to miss the 2018 Classics campaign.
Rowe suffered more than 20 fractures in his leg in early August while white-water rafting with family and friends during his brother’s stag party. He underwent surgery, with a metal rod inserted to hold his bones together while they healed.
He soon began physiotherapy and attended Team Sky’s recent get-together as they made plans for the 2018 season. Most of his teammates have enjoyed their end of season holidays and know their goals for the forthcoming season, but Rowe knows he has to be more patient.

"It’s been busy and certainly it’s a bit of an adventure. I’ve come a long way already but there’s a long way still to come," Rowe said in a video interview produced by Team Sky.
"I haven’t really set myself a date, a target or a race. I just want to get back as soon as I can. Whether that’s Roubaix, whether that’s the Tour, I don’t care. I just want to get back as soon as possible.
“Everyone knows I’ve got a love for the Classics but I know it’s going to be unrealistic to be there. That’s going to be hard because they’re races I love.”
