After his abandonment at the Worlds, Julian Alaphilippe is not selected for the European Championships this weekend in Ardèche. The Blues will be based in particular on Romain Grégoire, Pavel Sivakov and Paul Seixas.
For Julian Alaphilippe, it’s no. The Tudor Pro Cycling training runner will not compete in the European championships this Sunday, in France. This is anything but a surprise since the double world champion (2020, 2021) had quickly abandoned last Sunday at the Worlds, weakened by a disease.
From Kigali (Rwanda) to the roads of Drôme-Ardèche, we will find the two best tricolors at the Worlds, Paul Seixas (13th) and Pavel Sivakov (15th). They will be new accompanied by Valentin Paret-Peintre and Julien Bernard.
Julian Alaphilippe gave way the role of leader to Romain Grégoire
There are still four new ones whose list, in this case Aurélien Paret-Peintre, Nicolas Prodhomme, Alex Baudin and Romain Grégoire. On a course cut for the Putnanchers, the latter should be the leader of the Blues.
In great shape, recently winner of the Tour of Great Britain and two stages on the Tour du Luxembourg, Romain Grégoire especially won the Faun-Ardèche Classic at the start of the year, on a route similar to that of Sunday.
