The double world champion, seriously injured on Sunday April 24 in Liège-Bastogne-Liège, is having a difficult year marked by repeated falls. The nature of the injuries forces him to completely reconsider his season. Pneumothorax, fractured shoulder blade, two broken ribs: the toll of the fall, which knocked part of the peloton to the ground 60 kilometers from the finish, is heavy. The fall occurred downhill, at almost 70-80 km/h, with serious consequences for Alaphilippe and several other runners. He may not start the next Tour de France on July 1 in Copenhagen a few days after his 30th birthday.
