Leading a strong Soudal - Quick-Step team for the race, the 31-year-old Frenchman, who notably is in the final year of his contract with Patrick Lefevere's team, will be looking to start off what could be a career-defining season in style.
Supporting Alaphilippe are Josef Černý, James Knox, Casper Pedersen, Pieter Serry, Antoine Huby and Gil Gelders. "Excited to show you our line-up for the first race of the season, a strong seven-man squad led by two-time World Champion Julian Alaphilippe," says an official announcement by the Soudal - Quick-Step's social media page.

- What this article doesn't mention is the influence of Vingegaards wife (25 tour), whereas Pogs gf doesn't seem to be like so, tho she is a cyclist and knows the scene. When JV won his tours his interviews where certainly not extrovert, very, 'we done the job and that's it, Pogs certainly more verbally animated and it's his personality on the cycle too. JV's had to follow the last few tours, tho if he can get calm & his wife don't pipe up then I think he can do a good ride..

ChillingCyclist10-01-2026 - I'm a big fan, and I'd really like to see him do well. But, I would also like to see him retire at the end of 2026.JoeyB10-01-2026
- Jonas has a completely different personality than Pogi. Pogi can handle the pressure on all terrains. Pogi also loves his peace and quiet. And by the way, you can have your Casio watch. I will take several of the Richard Mille watches. Pogi is charismatic and humble, and always thanks his teammates for everything they sacrifice for him. Jonas probably does the same, but is much more private. Both are great, great riders, and I can't wait for The Tour De France this year! We are going over for two weeks. Go Pogi!
