Julian Alaphilippe has been one of the stars of the 2024
Giro d'Italia. Showing some of the best legs he's had in years, the Frenchman has finished on one stage and one another with a stunning long-distance attack. Could this return to form force a return to the
Tour de France later this summer?
Well, according to French outlet L'Equipe,
Soudal - Quick-Step's expected Maillot Jaune challenger,
Remco Evenepoel, is pushing hard for Alaphilippe to get the nod and be alongside the time-trial world champion at the startline for the Grand Depart in Florence on the 29th of June. The duo are known to be good friends as well as teammates and an in-form Alaphilippe would undoubtedly be a great addition to the Soudal - Quick-Step team.
