Never one to go down without a fight,
Julian Alaphilippe gave it his all to light up
Amstel Gold Race 2025 this Sunday afternoon in the Netherlands. Despite having even
Tadej Pogacar in difficulty for a short while however, the former world champion ultimately blew himself up - fading to a 20th place finish.
“I’m satisfied - I have no regrets. I raced on instinct and really wanted to anticipate Tadej’s move. But he also sort of anticipated himself, so it made things a bit tricky for me,” laughs the
Tudor Pro Cycling Team star in his post-race interview afterwards. “I felt good, and like I said this morning: I don’t want to finish with regrets. So I think it was the right moment. Afterwards, I needed a bit of time to recover, and that meant I just missed out on making the right group. It is what it is.”
