Within a week, one of the most popular sports competitions on the planet will soon begin. On July 1, the Tour de France will start from Copenhagen, Denmark. A great first for the most anticipated cycling competition of the year. Like last year, the Slovenian Tadej Pogacar will be the big favorite, but the French, Romain Bardet in the lead, will try to shine, just like the darling of the public, Julian Alaphilippe. Despite a terrible fall at the end of April, it would seem that the 30-year-old runner will be at the start of this new edition, just like his partner, Marion Roussenow director of the Tour de France Women and consultant for France Télévisions.
A double hat not necessarily easy to manage for the young mother who had a child a year ago with her companion. A little boy named Nino who makes his parents happy every day, except that with the very busy period ahead, the organization may be a bit complex in the coming weeks. “Nino stays with my parents, but he will come to see me during rest days, because a month without him would be too long… Even when I leave him for an hour, I spend my time looking at photos. I am gaga!”she explains in an interview with TV Mag released today.
He’s at the start and I’m at the finish, so we bump into each other all the time
A period of distance necessarily difficult to live for the young mother, who will also have to do without her companion, Julian Alaphilippe. “Despite what people may believe, we are not in the same hotels. He is at the start and I at the finish, so we meet all the time. If he participates in the Tour de France 2020, Nino, he and I, we’ll see each other on the rest days”details Marion Rousse, who is about to experience the most intense month of her year.
Far from her son and her companion, Marion Rousse will live a Tour de France rich in emotion, hoping that Julian Alaphilippe can shine under the eyes of the one who makes his heart beat!
