The crash in the Liège-Bastogne-Liège one-day race on April 24 that sidelined French double world champion Julian Alaphilippe (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) was just as bad as it looked.
There was a big reason to celebrate after the Mercan’Tour Classic Alpes-Maritimes for the Israel-Premier Tech team. Jakob Fuglsang and Michael Woods scored a one-two finish. And Chris Froome scored his best result since the summer of 2019 with an 11th place finish.
