Julian Alaphilippe is recovering from a heavy fall two weeks ago in Liège-Bastogne-Liège. The world champion suffered a broken shoulder blade, two broken ribs and a collapsed lung.
The Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl pilot wrote on Twitter: “I’m happy to share some news with you. My recovery is going well and the pain is less severe. “I’m breathing much better and everything is going in the right direction,” said they. .
“I hope this serious accident will soon be just a bad memory. I want to thank everyone for the messages of support I have received over the past few days.”
Alaphilippe does not dare to guess when he will return. For this, he must first wait for the next medical examinations. “They will determine the rest of my season. But I’m motivated and can’t wait to see you again.”
The 29-year-old Frenchman became the biggest victim of a massive fall about sixty kilometers from the finish. He crashed into a tree, fell into a ditch and had to be taken to hospital. There he remained under observation for several days.
Alaphlippe hopes to recover in time to compete in the Tour de France. In the most important stage race of the year, which started on July 1, he won a total of six stages, took the mountain jersey and wore yellow for a few days.
