Tour of Flanders top priority for Julian Alaphilippe next season - "I dream of performing there"
CyclingThursday, 10 November 2022 at 06:00
Two-time world champion Julian Alaphilippe hopes to be back to 100% as he reveals his plans for the top podium spot at next year’s Tour of Flanders.
It wasn't one of his best seasons. The number of victories he secured was half that of 2021. "I’m just looking forward to restarting the new season. You know, was a tough year, and I hope I can have not more luck, but maybe less bad luck,” expressed the Frenchman.
Tour de Flanders is going to be one of his main goals next season. "I will be super focused to try to have my level on top. I keep in my head that I can be 100% for the Tour of Flanders. It can suit me well, and I dream of performing there. This is my big goal for the first part of the season next year,” shared Alaphilippe.
Alaphilippe also shared his experience of this season’s Vuelta a Espana and how he turned super domestique for his teammate Remco Evenepoel. “To fight for the red jersey with Remco, to try to help him every day, it was really something that I will never forget. Of course, I was really, really disappointed to leave the guys on the road and watch the race on the TV for the last ten stages,” concluded Alaphilippe.

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
