It has now been two years since Marion Rousse formed a lovely couple with Julian Alaphilippe. A few months after the start of their love story, the famous French cyclist and the journalist have also decided to form a family since their son Nino was born in July 2021. Very present for her man whom she often joins at the end of each race, Marion Rousse will certainly accompany him to Spain since the Tour of Spain has just started.
And Julian Alaphilippe is already talking about him since his salary has just been revealed. This Friday August 19, 2022, the Italian press reveals that the 30-year-old sportsman would have received a gross annual salary of 2.3 million euros in 2021, an exorbitant sum in the world of cycling!
A few hours before his departure from the Tour of Spain, the young dad also confided in the columns of the Parisian, on his recent fall which prevented him from participating in the Tour de France: “You have to be confident, it can’t be worse than the last few months on my side! For the season to be successful, I would like to perform well, avoid further crashes and stay healthy.”
For his part, his manager Patrick Lefevere spoke in the Belgian media DeMorgen and was rather firm: “I hope he won’t repeat his lap from last year, where he raced according to the World Championships. Once, it passes, but in principle I do not pay for it” and add: “It has not been an easy season for him. It was also difficult for me, his boss. I will always defend my riders, but it’s a little easier with someone who wins 70,000 euros than when it concerns an amount with six zeros. So I expect something from him during the Tour of Spain.“
