I guess he can't be a rider who never won liege, so he cannot justify this long spring when he hasn't won that.
We might as well already award him his 4th Fleche win.
I didn't know he had a book.

I wouldn't be so sure about the Fleche. I mean, he is the favorite, but Roglic last year wasn't that far off, and this year we will certainly have Pogacar also in the mix, and of course eternal Valverde Belmonte with a little help of Ibarguren Taus magic potion
Anyway I think Liege is the one he wants badly...

I'd say Roglic was quite far off in Fleche last year.
This year, otoh...

I think Nibali is on streetview too near Col d'Eze (from his first Astana time, probably 2015 or 2016).

Anyone know the full extent of his crash today. It looked like a hard tumble.
JA is having a tough spring.

Really hope that he has no severe fractures or other kind of lasting damage, it would be a shame if the World Champion missed the Tour.

Quickstep have apparently said he is stable and is being checked over in hospital.
Romain Bardet commented after the finish that Julian couldn't move or breathe after the crash.

I hope he comes through this. That was painful to watch. While Remco winning might be great for the team, the victory will be bitter sweet.
Romain Bardet: 'Julian Alaphilippe couldn’t move, he couldn’t breathe' following Liège-Bastogne-Liège crash
'He felt conscious but he couldn’t really talk. I really hope that he’s OK,' Bardet says after coming to Alaphilippe's aid.

Bardet's initial reaction was to immediately look after Alaphilippe and call for help.
He didn't seem to be much affected by the crash.
Tells a lot about Romain as a person that the first thing that came to his mind was Alaphilippe's health and not to resume racing! <3
Nice to hear about Alaphilippe being healthy and stable. Hitting a stump & trunk could probably cause internal bleeding.

Quick-Step reports 2 broken ribs, broken shoulder blade and a collapsed lung for Alaphilippe. #LBL

If that's all, I'm very relieved. I know it's still tough injuries, but it sounds like something that can be recovered from. In time for the Tour? Questionable.
Take care Ala and wishing the recovery goes well.
Hopefully he comes back later in the season!

After Bardet's comments I was fearing spinal damage, relieved to see that's not the case. Get well soon Ala
Noted. Dont listen to Bardet for medical assessments.
I'd say he was spot on "couldn't move and couldn't breath" are pretty accurate for a person with broken ribs and a collapsed lung. But since he's not an MD its a good thing that JA got checked out at a medical facility.

Of course, sorry for trying to lighten the mood with a bad joke.

Not only is it good that Bardet saw him and went to help but that he crashed right there as it could have delayed help from coming even longer. Hopefully he can recover soon.
Recovering from that litany of injuries in less than 2 and a half months? I wouldn't count on it.
He shouldn't rush back. Take it slow don't return until close to 100%
