Huge fall of Julian Alaphilippe this Sunday on Liège-Bastogne-Liège.
Caught in a wave of the peloton about sixty kilometers from the finish, the world champion flew into a deep ditch on the left of the road, before hitting a tree.
Many runners fell or had to dismount, including another Frenchman, Romain Bardet, who went to pick up his compatriot.
