The day after his fall 35 kilometers from the finish of the Tour of Flanders, Julian Alaphilippe underwent two fractures to his right hand in Belgium on Monday.

A three-hour operation at the Herentals clinic and three weeks in plaster for the world champion.

Shortly after leaving the clinic, the Auvergnat returned to his fatal fall on Sunday: “The moment of my fall was frightening, recognized the leader on the official website of his Deceuninck-Quick Step team, once on land, I feared the worst.

Fortunately, it wasn't that bad after all.

I am very grateful to the doctors of the race but also those of Renaix (where he was transported on Sunday after his retirement) and Herentals for what they have done for me during the last twenty-four hours. "
