Tao Geoghegan Hart "super happy to be back in the saddle" for first time since horror Giro d'Italia crash
CyclingSaturday, 30 September 2023 at 22:00
A season which began with such promise for Tao Geoghegan Hart was brutally brought to a premature end as early as stage 11 of the 2023 Giro d'Italia. For the first time since that crash though, the Brit has been back on his bike.
"It’s been a very busy few months of work. Almost everyday in the gym and on the physio table," the former Giro d'Italia winner writes on his official Instagram account. "And after all of that work, I’m super happy to be back in the saddle now and (a little surprisingly) feeling really good already."
Geoghegan Hart started the season well, winning two stages of the Tour of the Alps en route to overall victory at the race and being very well-positioned in the general classification of the Giro d'Italia before breaking his hip after crashing on a slippery descent.
That turned out to be the 28-year-old's final act in an INEOS Grenadiers jersey as he's set to join Lidl-Trek for 2024. "Grateful to have had time with plenty of special people in the last months amongst the daily grind of this rehab," Geoghegan Hart's Instagram post concludes. "Thanks to everyone in my circle for the support."

- it will be interesting to see his results when he steps into the bigger races. 19 wins, but so many in the fall in mid level races. still the mid races need to be won to step up to the biggies.mij09-01-2026
- Looks like his poor health just stomped on the rear mech of his cycling career.Onepiece09-01-2026
- she is so good. even her results from 2025, which were “bad”, would be a career year for most riders. and consider at MSR, for example, her teammate won - perhaps Lotte could have won it. wishing her the best for 2026!mij09-01-2026

- Not sure you can say that someone as talented and successful as him has had bad luck, but between coming along right after the two titans and now this, his is a career cut short. Perhaps he can transition to a different role in the sport, but in any case I wish him well.MidnightRider08-01-2026
- I doubt it. This blows a hole in their ranks.mobk08-01-2026
- For a while there, Eli was the best of the rest in cyclocross behind Mathieu and Wout. It must be tough to be forced to retire early due to medical issues, but good health trumps everything else. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
santiagobenites08-01-2026 - however you frame it, it seems that they asked more from Ayuso (who obviously did not deliver the needed support) than they are asking from del Torro ... who - according to this quote - just needs to show up and can then ride however he likes.Ketterechts08-01-2026
- I agree that Ayuso was wrong in doing what he did at the tour, but we don't know everything behind the feud unless they all say honestly what went wrong. If he us such a rat and traitor, which it's a bit harsh, then what is to be said about Soler when he was with Movistar and didn't want to ride for Mas? I was disappointed, yes, but realize riders also have goals, and right now, UAE is all about their golden boy.Colnago-fan08-01-2026
