“Honestly, I had good sensations throughout the race, but at some point, it was also tactical. I was the only representative of my team at the front and there were very strong teams, and I had the order of my sports director to try to keep as much force for the final. I was concentrated, focus for the final and at the end, it was increasingly hard, round, I really got it all. walk”concludes Julian Alaphilippe.
