The world champion spoke about the goals for 2022

Between thoughts in yellow and shades of pink, Julian Alaphilippe 's rainbow jersey is preparing to shine again in 2022. The two-time world champion has not abandoned the dream of one day winning the Tour de France , putting an end to a fast that for the French it has lasted since 1985 (the year in which Bernard Hinault won), but he would also like to experience the Giro d'Italia as a protagonist. In an interview with Ciro Scognamiglio of the " Gazzetta dello Sport ", Alaphilippe sets no limits: «I'm not saying no. From here to the end of your career, why not think about it. We will talk about it with the team, there are many questions to ask. But I don't want to end my journey with the regret of not having tried ». And when will the Giro make its debut? "For 2022, I'll think about the classics and the Tour. But I want to find out as soon as possible."

The Roubaix, instead? "I do not believe. We will speak with the team in December, but I don't want to mix the Flanders classics with the Ardennes ». Did little Julian dream of becoming a champion? "No! I pedaled to be with friends, to have fun. I never imagined one day becoming a professional. Even when I was a junior I didn't think so ». Didn't he even dream of the Tour? "No, I thought it was too big." It will not be too big a dream, however, to have Alaphilippe in your team at Fantacycling , but like last year, you will have to make an effort to buy him, as his price will be one of the highest in the game (last year he closed with a worth 61 million). Will you bet on the musketeer?
