Julian Alaphilippe was in contention to win 2020 Tour of Flanders until he hit a motorbike 35 kilometers from the end.
The world champion was behind Wout Van Aert and Mathieu Van Der Poel when he appeared not to see the motorbike slowing down to his right. He hit the motorbike with his right shoulder and hit the pavement hard.
Deceuninck-Quick-Step said in a statement that he has two fractured bones in his right hand and will have an operation in Belgium on Monday.
