Ben Swift discharged week after horror crash

Team Sky rider Ben Swift has been discharged from hospital a week after a training ride crash that landed him in intensive care.

The Briton, 31, ruptured his spleen in the crash in Tenerife on 20 February, whilst out with team mate and 2018 Tour de France winner Geraint Thomas.

Swift, who finished fifth in the UCI Road World Championships in 2017, said the final scans had "all come back good."

He tweeted: "Got to take my time but already excited to get back at it."
