After sustaining serious injuries in a high-speed crash at Liège-Bastogne-Liége where he was one of the main favourites, Julian Alaphilippe has seen his season possibly turned upside down as he will be out of competition for an undetermined period of time.
In a press, release, Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team have reported the following: "As previously reported, Julian sustained two broken ribs, a broken scapula and a hemo pneumothorax. The complexity of his condition means that a period of further observation will be required before a recovery pathway will be decided. He will remain in the hospital in Herentals for the time being," the team shared.
Alaphilippe wasn't the only Quick-Step rider involved in the crash, as Ilan van Wilder also saw himself involved. Despite not having injuries as severe as the World champion, he sees big changes to his plans.
"Ilan underwent an operation to correct the damage sustained to his jaw... The doctors where happy with how the procedure went and he has returned home for a period of recuperation," the report said. However, the bad news for the young Belgian were confirmed as his participation at the Giro is no longer possible: "Unfortunately, the nature of the injury and procedure means that he will be unable to take part in the forthcoming Giro d’Italia."

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point.
