The verdict is in.
After falling this Sunday during the Tour of Flanders, the French world champion Julian Alaphilippe suffers from a fracture of two metacarpals (2 and 4) of the right hand.
He will be operated on Monday, as indicated by his team, the Quick-Step.
Julian Alaphilippe, 28, collided with a following motorbike 35 km from the finish, while in the leading group with two other riders.
The duration of his unavailability was not communicated.
It will undoubtedly be counted in weeks ...
