VIDEO: Chris Harper provides reassuring video update following nasty crash at the Tour of the Alps
CyclingFriday, 19 April 2024 at 11:00
There was a scary moment on stage 4 of the Tour of the Alps on Thursday, as Team Jayco AlUla leader Chris Harper crashed nastily on a descent with his head crashing into a lamppost on the roadside.
Thankfully, the Australian was described as only having "superficial wounds and a mild concussion," by a Team Jayco AlUla statement on Thursday night. A relatively lucky break considering how bad things looked in the initial incident.
Now, Harper himself had provided a reassuring video update. "Hey everyone, just wanted to say thanks for all the nice messages to the team and to myself," he starts. "Obviously I had a bit of a nasty crash yesterday at the Tour of the Alps but luckily, I came away pretty unscathed."
"A bit of skin off and a bit sore but nothing broken so yeah, recover now and then on to the next one," Harper concludes optimistically. "Thanks a heap for all your nice messages, it really means a lot!"

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
