Victim of a heavy fall during Liège-Bastogne-Liège on April 24, Julian Alaphilippe published a reassuring message this Saturday on his social networks.

The Alpha Vinyl-Quick Step frontman had to be hospitalized to have his fractured scapula, two broken sides and penumothorax taken care of.

“My recovery is going well and the pain is less severe, writes the Montluçonnais.

I breathe much better and everything is going in the right direction.

I hope that soon this big fall will be more than a bad memory.

“I wanted to thank you for your many messages of support which have touched me a lot during the past 10 days, and all the people involved of course.

The next exams will decide the rest of my season.

Already motivated for the rest and looking forward to seeing you again.

For now, I'm enjoying my little family as much as possible,” he adds.
