Alaphilippe, no stones; the target is Liege

World champion Julian Alaphilippe is ready to start the 2022 season and he has done so since his retirement in Calpe , Spain : he will make his debut on 10 February in Provence . In his program this time there are no Northern Classics, no Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix , with the aim of concentrating on racing in the Ardennes : the biggest goal is the Liège-Bastogne-Liège .

«I am a accomplished man - said Alaphilippe to   Gaétan Scherrer de l'Equipe - the winter has been very quiet, I have disposed of my season well and I have tasted my role as dad to the fullest. It's great, it changes your life. I don't even have the words to explain it. It puts many things in the background, we focus again on the essential. I am a person who lives a lot of emotions and energy. I have to learn to savor my victories better, accept that I am not always 100%, put a little less pressure on myself ».  

It is unlikely that "the musketeer" manages to hit the third consecutive world title; this year it will be raced in Australia and the course is for sprinters. Therefore his initial position is: "I will go to give back to my teammates what my teammates have given to me in the past." The Italian fans and all those who bet on Alaphilippe at Fantacycling can be satisfied, Ciro Scognamiglio in the Gazzetta dello Sport underlines that in his spring program there is a lot of Italy: Strade Bianche , Tirreno-Adriatico , Milan-Sanremo . Prestige races to see one of the most talented riders on the circuit at work.
