The season of Julian Alaphilippe looks like a real nightmare at the moment, but when you’re a champion like him, hope and motivation are always there. While he legitimately harbored a lot of ambition for this season, the 30-year-old champion saw all his hopes go up in smoke one after another. Held back by injuries and the covid, he suffered a terrible fall at the end of April, which prevented him from participating in the Tour de France. A terrible disappointment for the companion of Marion Rousse, who had to stay at home. Recovered from his injuries, he was able to take part in the Tour of Spain, but once again an injury forced him to retire.
A succession of misfortunes which obviously did not affect the morale of Julian Alaphilippe too much, returning home to prepare for one of the most important events of his year, the world road cycling championships. Double reigning champion, the Frenchman has recovered and is preparing to leave for Australia to defend his title. But before leaving, he had a nice message to deliver to his fans on social networks. Rather discreet, the cyclist, followed by nearly 890,000 subscribers on Instagram, published a beautiful message yesterday afternoon addressed to his son, the adorable Nino (1 year). “Let’s go for a new world championship, in Australia“he rejoices at first.
You fill me with happiness and I will give everything for you, for the French team, and for this complicated season but which will make me stronger
Obviously very happy to finally be able to get back on a bike, Julian Alaphilippe seems more motivated than ever, and Nino is not for nothing. “And yes my Nino the first you were almost there, the second in Leuven you were already there. That time has passed quickly since Imola. You fill me with happiness and I will give everything for you, for the French team, and for this complicated season but which will make me stronger“, he continues, before concluding with a nice thought for Marion Rousse: “Big kisses to my darling for all the work behind the scenes.“
