A terrible disillusionment. Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe abandoned the road race of the Cycling Worlds after a fall on Sunday September 29 in Zurich, the organizers announced.
No footage of the accident, which happened after about an hour of racing, was visible. According to the Blues management, the French runner, double world champion in 2020 and 2021, dislocated his left shoulder.
Hard blow for the Blues
It’s a big blow for Thomas Voeckler and the French team who were counting a lot on the champion, who has been in great shape in recent weeks. The day before, Saturday, Frenchwoman Pauline Ferrand-Prévot also had to abandon the women’s race after being seized with vomiting.
