Chis Froome has undergone six hours of surgery after his horror crash this week.
Froome was left with a fractured right femur, a broken hip, a fractured elbow and fractured ribs from the crash on Wednesday afternoon on stage four of the Criterium du Dauphine.
It is claimed that the four-time Tour de France champion took his hands off his handlebars to blow his nose while riding at around 55km/h.
It was announced on Thursday that he was in intensive care and Team INEOS have confirmed he has now undergone surgery.
Doctor Richard Usher said: “First things first, the surgery was a success. The operation, which lasted for six hours, went very well.
“Chris woke up this morning and was reviewed by the intensive care consultants and the orthopaedic specialist who operated on him and they’re both very happy with his progress to date.
“Chris will remain in hospital for the next few days for observation, but he is already actively engaging in discussing his rehabilitation options, which is very encouraging.
“As he begins his road to recovery, the Team will now only be providing further updates at a stage where it is necessary to do so."
A gust if wind is said to have caught his front wheel, spinning him out of control and into a wall.
The injuries were so severe that Froome had to be airlifted to nearby St Etienne University Hospital, where he is currently being looked after by medical staff.
Froome's injury has ruled him out of competing in the Tour de France but he is expected to release a statement on his condition in the coming days.
