Victim of a collective fall 60 kilometers from the finish of Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Julian Alaphilippe received the support of a Romain Bardet who, rather than continuing his race, decided to come to the rescue of his compatriot , located below the road near a tree.
A scene that Bardet told the microphone of RMC: “
I was very afraid for Julian.
I fell on his side, I saw him three meters below.
He told me: I can't move, I can't move.
No one was coming.
It lasted forever, I was really scared.
He couldn't move.
These are really scenes that you don't want to see on a bike.
I tried above all not to kill him.
I tried to call people, the cars were blocked, it took forever.
It was only 4-5 minutes, but it was a really shocking scene.
