“First time on the bike after my crash,” he wrote on Twitter and Instagram.
“Hope to be back in action this year.”
Gilbert accompanied the post with a video that included him flying over a wall during a high-speed descent, giving a brief interview, showing off the scars on his left knee and riding a stationary bike.
The 36-year-old former road-race world champion crashed on the descent of Porte d’Aspet in the Pyrenees on July 24 and fell into a ravine. He was hospitalised in Belgium anticipating a long convalescence.
Quick-Step manager Patrick Lefevere told the Belga news agency that Gilbert hoped to ride in the Tour of Turkey (October 9-14) and the Tour of Guangxi (October 16-21)
