World champion cyclist Julian Alaphilippe has been brutally injured after hitting a tree in a high-speed crash

Alaphilippe crashed in a mass pileup at the one-day Liège-Bastogne-Liège cycling race in Belgium.

According to his team QuickStep AlphaVinyl, he has two broken ribs, a broken scapula, and collapsed lung.

The mass crash saw multiple cyclists flung off their bikes.

Opponent Romain Bardet escaped the crash and was set to win the race but chose to stop and help Alaphilippe who had fallen down the hill amongst bushland.

“It was just a nightmare,”
“When I looked around, I saw Julian maybe five or six meters down, and it was an emotional shock because he was in a bad situation. No one was coming and he really needed help. It was an emergency situation. He couldn’t move, he couldn’t breathe.”
“He felt conscious but he couldn’t really talk. I really hope that he’s OK. The mechanic came, then the doctor. The road was completely blocked.
“A lot of guys were involved in a very bad situation. No one saw him, you couldn’t really see him from the road … After that, I was in shock. The race was gone. I was lucky to escape with no injuries.”
Romain Bardet

At this stage, Julian remains in a stable condition in hospital. Messages of support and well wishes are flooding in for the world champion.

Airbus faces manufacturing issues with A320 fuselage panels, impacting shares but confirming safety for in-service aircraft.

Airbus is confronting a fresh manufacturing issue after discovering a quality defect in several dozen fuselage panels used on A320-family jets. The revelation sparked investor concern, with shares falling by up to 10% as the news broke.

While the newly identified flaw has caused some delivery delays, Airbus confirms that aircraft already in service are safe and unaffected. The defect is limited to a specific batch of panels, and all new production now meets required standards.

The company has apologised for the disruption and says it is working closely with suppliers to prevent a repeat of the issue.

After a brutal November where BTC shed more than $18,000, its biggest dollar drop since mid-2021, investor confidence is wavering. Analysts say multiple pressures, including negative ratings for major stablecoins, are amplifying bearish sentiment across the market.
