Two weeks after his crash at Liège-Bastogne-Liège which left him with multiple serious injuries including a collapsed lung and fractured scapula, Julian Alaphilippe tweeted an update on his condition on Saturday morning.
“Hello everyone, after a few days, I’m happy to give you some news. My recovery is going well and the pain is less severe. I breathe much better and everything is going in the right direction,” he said.
“I hope that soon this crash will be nothing more than a bad memory. I wanted to thank you for your many messages of support which have touched me a lot during the last 10 days, and all the people involved of course.”
