Support assembly for transporting a tubular wind turbine component, the support assembly defining a contour and a longitudinal axis, corresponding to that of a tubular wind turbine component in a tubular wind turbine component position, and wherein the support assembly comprises: - a saddle adjoining a lower part of the contour, wherein the longitudinal axis is oriented transversally to the saddle, - a first fixing point and a second fixing point for attaching a first flexible restraint, - the first flexible, wherein the first fixing point, the second fixing point and the contour define a first restraint path along which in use the first flexible restraint extends over the tubular wind turbine component and contacts its outer surface, characterized in that when viewed in a direction of the longitudinal axis the first fixing point is located: left of the longitudinal axis, below an upper horizontal tangent of the contour, and not vertically underneath the contour, wherein in use the first restraint path extends from the first fixing point to a first contact point on the turbine component, over the tubular wind turbine component and along the surface of the tubular wind turbine component and beyond an outer right vertical tangent of the tubular wind turbine component to a second contact point on the outer surface where the flexible restraint extends away from the outer surface to the second fixing point, wherein at least a part of the first restraint path is oriented along a tangent to the contour passing through the second contact point.
