Tao Geoghegan Hart "super happy to be back in the saddle" for first time since horror Giro d'Italia crash
Cycling
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."

- 18 broken bones. 78 crashes, among 30 rider per year is a lot. so for a rider over 15 seasons, they will break their bones 7-8 times and crash 38 times.abstractengineer04-11-2026
- i dont think he is ready ot win against the top 2 or the 2nd rung of evenepoel, del toro , Almeida. In the third week in the TDF he was very very defensive, no attacks. i think he was exhausted. right now he needs time not the brutal Giro or the intense TDF.abstractengineer04-11-2026

- his Roubaix win was amazing. not to take anything away from him - arguably one of MVDP's wins was at the expense of a WVA flat - but so many things need to line up to get one of these. He had a perfect race with fewer bike issues on an attritional course. And crazy strong as usual. Glad he got this done.mij04-11-2026

- A mindset that reminds me of Tim Declerq. I loved watching that guy just pound away the kilometers, hours at the front, holding an entire breakaway in check on his own. Bjerg seems like a similar guy. Curling, the team sport.RidesHills04-11-2026
