Julian Alaphilippe, questioned by the organizers about the
route of the Tour de France 2022
: “I like this course.
It's a beautiful track with an interesting first week with different stage profiles.
It'll be nice.
It will not be easy to take the yellow jersey very early ... start with a stopwatch, it can also be the way for the best to take time but also to lose it straight away.
This first week inspires me a lot, I can't wait to resume training and go on reconnaissance.
The cobblestones also inspire me, it always adds nervousness in the peloton, I like it, I can't wait to discover them.
Having the world champion's jersey adds something magical to every race, every training session.
Twice in a row, I still need a little time to realize… It's going to be another rainbow year!
