Julian Alaphilippe injury: Positive update for Frenchman with four weeks until world championships in Australia
Julian Alaphilippe will be able to begin full training “in the not-too-distant future” according to his Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl team after he crashed out of La Vuelta. Alaphilippe crashed on Stage 11 when he slid off his bike and dislocated his shoulder. Ad It was initially thought that the Frenchman would not be able to defend his world title, having won the rainbow jersey in 2020 and 2021, but his team put out a statement which suggests his injury is not too serious.
