Alaphilippe's Crash and Celebration Fails, Wellens Wins Tour Stage
In a chaotic stage of the Tour de France, cyclist Julian Alaphilippe crashed and dislocated his shoulder.
Despite the injury, he finished the race and celebrated, thinking he'd won.
However, he was mistaken!
Tim Wellens had already finished the race first, and another rider was ahead of Alaphilippe too.
It was a tough day for Alaphilippe, who had a brave comeback but didn't win.
This wasn't the first time something like this had happened to him.
Julian Alaphilippe crashed early in Stage 15 of the Tour de France, suffering a dislocated shoulder.
Alaphilippe finished the stage believing he had won, celebrating at the finish line.
Tim Wellens won the stage, having broken away from the group earlier.
Victor Campenaerts also finished ahead of Alaphilippe.
This was not the first instance of misfortune for Alaphilippe in a race.
