UPDATE: "Superficial wounds and a mild concussion" for Chris Harper after frightening Tour of the Alps crash
CyclingThursday, 18 April 2024 at 18:20
With downhill crashes a massive talking point in the cycling world currently, there has sadly been another brutal reminder about the dangers of the descent on stage 4 of the Tour of the Alps.
Attacking and attempting to put time into race leader, Juan Pedro Lopez, Team Jayco AlUla's Chris Harper hit an unmarked curb on an unprotected bend, crashing hard and after sliding across the ground, the Australian careered head first into a street light on the pavement.
Moments later, with his countryman still laying on the ground, Ben O'Connor also went down at the very same spot on the road, although O'Connor was quickly able to get back up and carry on. Harper however, will not carry on. Although he was able to sit up and quickly received medical attention, it's a trip to the hospital for the Australian in order to get properly checked over.
UPDATE
Team Jayco AlUla have since provided a positive update to Harper's condition. "After a crash on stage 4 of the Tour of the Alps, Chris Harper was taken to hospital for further examinations. Thankfully, scans and x-rays have shown no fractures. Chris has sustained superficial wounds and a mild concussion. The Australian will now rest and recover, and follow the team's concussion protocol."

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- 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. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
